You seem convinced that you've got My Way De Solzen right all year Warbler, and you may be right, but today will be an interesting test; can you tell us pre race how you expect him to perform today. It seems that you expect him to go close to winning but possibly fail in the last 50 yards ~ your pinpointing of his stamina has been frighteningly specific. The other argument is that the horse is either not right physically or mentally and will therefore cave in when pressure is applied in earnest (unless Alan King has fixed his problem of course). For the record I'm in both camps to a degree, but while I agree in broad terms with your non staying argument, I believe your attempt to identify the exact limits of his stamina are bonkers.
