I really want to see Lazarus kick some serious arse in the states because I think our breed has been dismissed for too long, but based on what I have seen from him over the mile, I think he will struggle to display his true ability, as he has here over the short distance in OPEN AGE CLASS, what he did as a 2 or 3yo in NZ or Aus will not help him where he is going.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I just can't see him showing his best over the mile.
