Would it be optimistic to suggest that the best possible finishing position a UK trained horse could obtain is 5th or 6th in the Gold Cup?? Dear me, Irish have it by the short and curlies don’t they.

Interestingly 6.6% (68 out of 1021) of foals catalogued at Goffs were by stallions that won over 12f. Future path of the Thoroughbred is clear.

Middle distance pedigrees are unfortunately getting less and less. Yet they are making a premium at the yearling sales and HIT/private sales. Breeders will see the light and start supporting these tough hard knocking staying horses? We need them we have enough sprinters/milers.
