I knew Dettori had chose the wrong horse in that 09' St. Leger when he picked Kite Wood over Mastery. As 3yr.old's, Kite Wood may have been the better 12f horse of the 2? But at 14-1/2f, I knew Mastery would stay that trip out better than Kite Wood. You can even logically argue now that as they got older, Mastery became a better 12f horse than Kite Wood. I can't imagine Kite Wood ever having been able to beat that G1 Hong Kong Vase field in 2010 as easily as Mastery did at Sha Tin. JMO.
