that really doesn't work as often as you might think. also, altho spirit one came from france, he's got a more american than french pedigree:

so does archipenko-a us bred, sired by kingmambo.

anyway, i read that foreign horses don't really win that often here (i forget the exact percentage), but for some reason we think it happens far more often. but then, even tho randy moss tells us differently every year, many still think that pimlico has tight turns.

it's funny, we hear how euros are so much better, but it seems that often their best came from the bluegrass of kentucky.

no question the euros are much deeper on turf. their also rans like Red Rocks or Winchester or Spirit One win the top races over here. we normally don't even see their best come over here.

They used to send some top horses to the BC Classic to give it a try. That was fun. I will never forget all the hype Hawk Wing got on the ESPN site from the Euros who posted there.
