Yeah, Real Deal,
George could win anywhere, particularly, one that comes to mind being the Gp1 race in Brisbane in 1971, after he made his comeback on Rajah Sahib.
He also won the 1967 English Derby on Royal Palace for the Queen, so, yes, mate, he was able to take on and beat the best all over the world.
NB. I was only a very young school boy as he was coming to the end of his career but I got the racing "bug" at a very tender age.
Didn't Gai win two Gp1's in Melbourne on the same day during the Melbourne Spring carnival?
Cheers.
