Major Announcement by Godolphin
In a stunning and sudden switch in philosophy, the head of Godolphin racing announced today that they will no longer be sending their prized 2yo purchases over to winter in Dubai in preparation for the Triple Crown series. In making the announcement, he said he has come to the conclusion that the best opportunity for the horses to give them the one victory that has escaped their grasps, the Kentucky Derby, would come by leaving them here in America to prepare and train. He said that this year's two top contenders, Vineyard Haven and Midshipman would be given the rest of the year off and would be starting off next year with traditional American preps being planned. Vineyard Haven will remain in the hands of Bobby Frankel but Midshipman will be switched to the care of Todd Pletcher. He didn't give any specific reasons as to why Midshipman was taken away from Bob Baffert but he did conclude his announcement by saying that he's very confident in his chances of finally attaining the elusive Derby victory, citing the tremendous records of success in the Derby compiled by Frankel and Pletcher (because they don't winter in Dubai) and seemingly admitting that his way is a failure.

As long as Godolphin has Suroor as their trainer, they can buy every colt in the U.S. Every friggin' colt in this country. Suroor stinks as a trainer. The successes that Godolphin has enjoyed has been through American trainers. Is there not something to this? They have just bought the top two two yr. old colts. Whooptedooo. I could care less about the colts that have Godolphin's name on them. Since Zenyatta will be running in '09, my racing world will be centered around her. Again.
