    I have this vague notion that French bred horses are able to cope with sticky to bottomless ground better than others. Is this right?

    I think ones who run in Ireland do take to it very well.

    alot of french racing tends to be run on very soft ground (even on the flat) that might give you that feeling. Kauto Star won a tingle creek on bottomless ground and Nicholls stated after that is the reason why he won it.

    Soft ground was the reason he hacked up that day, but not for the reason you say above.

    The soft ground brought his stamina into play and that why PFN said he won because of soft ground
