I think he's been made to appear so by the level of competition out there but compared to what I think actual good horses are, neither of them are very good to me. I'd have loved Quality Road in the Main Track Mile though.

Its funny you criticize the level of competiton Summer Bird has faced, and you never mention the same criticism when it comes to Zenyatta, who has undeniably been beating up on terrible fields.

Quality Road in the Main Track Mile would have been a heavy favorite so you arent really going out on much of a limb there. I'm glad hes running in a race where you can actually make a bet on him.

I do agree with you on Summer Bird and Gio Ponti wanting 10F more than Quality Road, but I dont think Zenyatta is any more cut out for it than Quality Road.
