That was incredible. I had goosebumps afterwards. I understand that he had it all his own way but the way he quickened and took off was as incredible as I can remember from any horse in the past 10 years at least and probably more. Super impressive. For those that didn't see it, find a way to see it. This is by far the best horse in the world. Canford Cliffs was destroyed.

I know that it might just be the moment speaking but I am pretty sure that he's the best miler I've ever seen. If you didn't know how good Canford Cliffs was, you'd have still been impressed. Knowing the quality of CC and how easily he was defeated, maybe it's not just the moment speaking. The only thing that's holding me back is that it's likely that Canford Cliffs was injured during the race looking at the way he was drifting out down the lane.
