I am looking forward to yet another son of Unbridled Song to retire and stand in KY.

Well perhaps after the vet visits "Middy" all will be well..Do you realize that Gopolphin horses have never had a positive in Dubai..Imagine your the lab guy grinding a living, one of the Shieks horses tests bad and you have to tell the world he cheated.. Maybe that isn't a good career move? ah?

Oh dear,

the amount of people who believe that to be the case. I wouldn't put it past them, but the news WOULD get out and racing is held in such high regard over there that they would be classed as evil sinners.

Anyway, drugs tests all have to be checked overseas.

I'm no fan of Middie, but I thought he ran OK. Tired late after having being used early for position from the difficult outpost, and then at least 3+ wide.

I've always respected the winner. He's Einstein of Arabia.

Is that the opposite of an Arab in Princeton?

Like I say, it would make no difference as they are checked overseas anyway.

It's one thing to be a Yankee fan but a fan of family that has ruined more good horses then everyone combined? Seriously how are you a fan of Saeed bin Suour? He is a scary talent huh?

HRH Sheikh Mo has done so much for racing internationally...

I'm really not up to having this fight (again) and yeah I know all the arguments.

Respectfully, I admire and applaud the Godolphin organization. I'll leave it at that.

We can agree on this.

Sorry MMSC, but you know where I stand on someone being a fan of thus outfit. You're the one who pays a loving tribute to horses who 'died during battle' but if only you knew what went on behind closed doors.

Does it never concern you that SOOOO many horses that have gone to them have never been seen since?
