I know. Just like they had no clue as to what they were doing when they ran Giant's Causeway in the Classic. Just like they had no clue when they ran Sakhee in the Classic. Or when they ran Falbrav in the 12f Turf. Or when they ran Arcangues in the Classic. Or when they ran 3yo filly Jolypha in the Classic.
Simply put, a classy horse is a classy horse. Sure, GW looks to be a miler at best but many horses that run in Europe and then come over to the states are easily able to handle longer distances than they did at home. The layouts of many European courses require more stamina at most distances than America races. I've not seen it anywhere but for my own handicapping purposes, I always feel very confident in backing a European horse over here when going a furlong or two over what they usually ran at home.
