Kotashaan, Miss Alleged, In The Wings, Audarya, Starine and generally there just not that many french bred or campaigned horses.

So IMHO, they are due respect in any of the BC Turf events. It is a little unusual in that their form can be up and down. As P-Dub noted any of the euros can jump up at anytime not just Godolphin. Last year's winner prepped in Germany home of the famous Shirocco who also won the Classic.

Not to jump down Marlin's throat he may be tunnel visioning Arc day and not all Arc winner's make the trip so we don't always see their best. I need to look at the Turf race qualifiers before touting any horse this year.
