Is it any wonder that a horse that has excelled under the conditions of the Arc might not find the BC Turf's conditions to be his cup of tea?
Look for Euros with good races on left-hand courses and on those with short stretches, like Chester.

Yeah, that explains the total failure of horses like Trempolino, or horses that lost the Arc and fared well in the BCT.
