Dale Scott (10/2) rightly points out that under the methodology that Longines uses to choose its world’s best horse there could be only one winner — Arrogate.
I have no problem with that, as Arrogate is a fine horse, and trainer Bob Baffert a fine horseman (though I’d probably choose different names for my offspring — his children include Canyon, Forest and Savannah).
However, and reading between the lines, what I tried to suggest was that Longines’ selection criteria is about as relevant as the former senator and conspiracy theorist Malcolm Roberts.
Dale, perhaps it’s time for Longines to go and do what they know and do best, making watches, and let someone else select the world’s best racehorse that doesn’t get their ideas from a back of an Omo pack.
