Mr. Cunningham, I believe Hala Bek is very difficult to keep right, thus only having run once before the Derby. He didnt work well prior to an attempt at the Irish Derby and so, they are preparing him for an Autumn campaign so will miss the King George and other top summer races, with the Arc as his target.. I agree with you that he was very unlucky in the Derby..
