My 2.5 cents
I don't think that's necessarily true. George is the sentimental favorite with American fans. But, Bruyneel is a smart guy. He's got three racers who could win this race and I think he'll play his cards as opportunities unfold. If Disco can win with another racer, he'll do that just as quickly as setting up George for the win.
