But, more importantly to me, George Washington had an absolutely dream set up in this race. Probably won't happen so sweetly in the BC Mile.

I wouldn't argue he is probably the horse to beat, but I am confused by the comparisons to Rock of Gibralter that are coming out of England, and don't quite see why he is such a short price at this point.

harry will correct me if im wrong, but i believe that GW has put up better timeform figures than the rock.. The rock won loads of races over the year but his ratings were quite low...
