May I ask you what you mean when you use the term, "run to a better level of form"? How do you know that GW's level of form in the QEII at Ascot on the turf, exceeded Invasors level of form in the Classic on the dirt?

Nothing in my prior statements denigrated George Washington. Why did they send him to the Classic, did they not think he could stay?

Also you have contradicted yourself. You are telling me that you can't make season long ratings based on one race, the BCC, yet you are making season long ratings for GW and Bernardini based on one race, (The QEII and the Travers).
