Proxy also moved Post 1 in the Jockey Club Gold Cup.
“The one-hole made us a substantial disadvantage all year round,” said Stidham. “When you look at your only bad races, they both came from the one-hole in the Pegasus and Stephen Foster. When I saw that we pulled it back here, it was very depressing, but he overwhelmed a lot (Saturday) and still almost won.”
Nevertheless, with the efforts of his talented horse, Stidham could not be happier and said that the performance was worth trying the Breeders' Cup Classic.
“He has certainly stamped himself into this top group to go to the Breeders' Cup,” said Stidham. “I would just say that we just want to go straight to the breeder cup.”

The patience paid off and it led to the Dubai World Championship and we have won a 12 -million dollar race.”
