What’s that to do with racing here?

Question

Because racing’s international sport now. One of the reasons that Buick has been handed the John Gosden job is because of his early international experience – his biggest win came last year in the Grade One E P Taylor Stakes in Canada on Mick Channon’s filly Lahaleeb – which is something that Jimmy Fortune lacks.
It was the reason why Fortune was passed over for the mount on the Gosden-trained Raven’s Pass in the 2008 Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita, when Frankie Dettori came in for the winning ride, and Fortune was also left back in Britain 12 months later when Dettori rode Pounced to win the Juvenile and Dar Re Mi to finish fourth to Conduit in the Turf.
