The only statement I stand behind is that their top class grass runners are superior to our top class turfers.

That is all.
But the reason that an American horse (like Curlin) will have a hard time winning the ARC isn't because they arent good enough, but because the style of racing and the course not to mention the ground are totally different than anything they have ever encountered, which was the original arguement.
