They have Aussie Rules for the mile too. Aussie Rules run in the Shadwell was pretty impressive. TJ Comerford said Aussie Rules is running at his peak right now. It would not look great if their own horse beat GW in the Mile.

I know why they are doing it, but my point was that they are taking away from racing but running one of their horses 'out of his element'. This works 1 out of 10 times, maybe 2 out of 10 times. I would rather get to experience a race like Rock of Gibralator's at Arlington then Dylan Thomas this weekend at Belmont
