That horse is the Twirling Candy of the UK. Lots of listed and Group 3 wins to speak of, but where are all the Group 1s? Curious that after his big win (in a Group 2), he was held out of some big races in July. Finally reappeared in August in the Juddmonte International and got absolutely blitzed by Twice Over, a horse that is at the absolute edge between Group 1 and Group 2 status.
Yeah, yeah, I know, he had the mysterious 24-hour bug conveniently discovered
after he got spanked. Sure enough, he hasn't started since and suddenly, after spending most of the summer pumping him up as their BC Classic hope, he reverts to the Turf. Wouldn't be shocked if he's sent out there simply to make pace for their best hope, St. Nicholas Abbey.
