Best Miler in the World at present

Variety Club must be up there?

I watched Wise Dan win in Kentucky before he set the corse record in the Breeders Cup Mile.. Must be honest, though probably an honestly biast opinion, I thought VC would give him something to run for.

Whats the name of that horse that kept on running second to Frankel...its moved from Botti to O'Brein?

Excelebration ??

Ambitious Dragon

Wouldn't it be cool if we had a ''world series of racing''... say 10 horses compete in multiple races around the world over 12/18 months, USA/Dubai/SA/UK/Australia/Japan/HK/Singapore.... Winner gets 20 mil US... would be something different in the world of horse racing??

Boys, Variety Club will have ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE against Wise Dan. It won't even be a race.

Pith we will never know.

Actually I think on a fair course with a long run in even Animal Kingdom will klap VC.

Plus another 3/4 months.....if just because VC is S/African

For what it's worth, the current IFHA ratings for turf milers:

130 Excelebration
127 Wise Dan
124 Ambitious Dragon
123 Acclamation, Animal Kingdom, Cityscape
121 Moonlight Cloud, Obviously
120 Caspar Netscher, Super Easy, Xtension

Highest rated (SAf) tag at the moment is What A Winter (120, sprints).
Variety Club was rated 119 back in May. His Green Point Stakes run was after the cutoff for the current list

Does the winner of this year's Queens Plate get qualification to the Breeders Cup Mile?
