I know this was directed at Somer,
but I will take a shot b/c Ive always found this stuff interesting even if its not relevant to handicapping.

GEORGE WASHINGTON (IRE) b. C, 2003 DP = 4-4-19-0-1 (28) DI = 1.67 CD = 0.36


obviously the DP(28) indicates lots of class.
most notable is that he has 2/3 of his points from the classic category

DI of less than 2 says theoretically he is bred to run a distance.
ratio of speed to stamina is somewhat in check(especially during this day of racing).

CD is somewhat balanced b/c as mentioned earlier, most of his points come from the middle(classic) category.

as for his chances in the BCC, the most notable thing about his pedigree is that he is out of an Alysheba mare.
probably has a better chance than most Danehill horses do to act on dirt.

but Im not counting on it.
Grass miler running in the toughest 10f dirt race in the world in his first attempt on dirt?
No thanks.
