cj and Onesome, thank you for the insights.
Onesome, if I am understanding your point, it appears that you believe the British and French graded stakes are generally stronger than the US races. Would you say that a US grade one was comparable to a European grade two?
Given O'Brien's lack of US success and the cost of shipping and other related costs, his "ducking" the best of Europe seems to not be working out so well.
