I have looked at his runs and I still can't have him as being as good as some think he is - if a horse needs an excuse once, that's unfortunate, twice is unlucky and three times or more....well, you can work it out!

Personally I think that RVW is assessed by many (I don't include DO in this category) by reputation rather than performance. A horse that has only won twice in its seven runs to date (finishing out of the 3 on 3 of those occasions) can't be the second next best thing, surely?
