theres a big difference between an ascot gold cup and a york gold cup.both little wolf and capstan were out and out stayers whereas ardross had more speed than the two of them put together and york is a tight track which suits the speed horse.lester was great at not giving a horse as hard a race as it needed.look at all nijinsky's races always just doing enough.great horseman

Ardross the best stayer I have ever seen. consistently officially rated over 130 over a long flat career.
