Hamm, whilst I agree with the general sentiment that Sprinter Sacre might be the best 2m we've ever seen, it's premature to do so just yet.

The above statement takes so generous an interpretation of yesterday's form, that you would be as well saying Sprinter Sacre is better than Arkle - because that argument holds just as much water.

It was a tremendous performance yesterday, but it was more about the style in which he did it, and the promise of what's still to come, than the rating he ran too. In the here and now, it's an insult to a great horse to suggest that the Sprinter Sacre of yesterday would beat, let alone 'canter all over', Moscow Flyer.
