Just watched the race for the first time and SS was simply awesome. Sanctuaire ran to an almost identical performance as when beating Somersby as he was about a second slower carrying 5lb more in identical conditions. The question is what is Sanctuaires true rating? with Kumbeshwar finishing second it doesn't look great but the race was 6 seconds faster than Captain Conan in the Novices. Would have loved Sanctuaire to have finished well ahead of the rest of the field but sadly for me Sprinter Sacre never came out of second gear and probably only had to run to a mark of low 160's there to win in a canter. I suspect Sanctuaire may need a long rest where SS wont even know he's had a run.
