I've always felt that the Arc jinx is a bunch of hogwash. Many times the Arc winner was up against it coming into the BC. Dancing Brave for instance. As great a horse as he was, I thought that field he was going against was just sick, especially with the great Manila in the race.
Trempolino had Theatrical.
Dylan Thomas was massively overrated and was probably going off form anyways.
