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.

Well I like him. Shoot me!

(Didn't he almost die from that "24 hour bug"? Just sayin...)

I thought that was a nice field (the Hardwicke) and he knows how to win.

For anyone who wants to take a look...

As an aside Campanologist has since won the G1 Preis Von Europa at Cologne on Sept. 25th and just won the G1 Gran Premio del Jockey Club E Coppa d'Oro at San Siro a week or so ago.

You might be right Mr. Tomasi... maybe he'll just be the rabbit... who knows.

I like him though and hope he comes and stays healthy and then we shall see.

5-0-1 from 7 incase anyone was wondering...
