I thought it was a funny spot for her return too.

I'm not sure if you should be applauded or slapped for responding to that.

No right thinking person.

Wasn't her first race last year a listed stake at Saratoga?

You're right, dont mind me. Just a little frustrated at the result is all. Bad reaction, bad post. My bad.

It was. She wasnt a multiple grade 1 winner last year either. She came into last year having won only listed races in dubai and a couple of grad3 3 races in chile and the saratoga race was her first race of any kind in North America. Since then she beat ginger punch on the dirt, finished second to zenyatta on synthetic and won a grade 1 on turf.

It just seemed like an odd placing for such an accomplished horse...to me anyway. Imagine if Zenyatta had opened the year in a listed stake.

In the space of a week, they had 3 of their best horses smashed to smithereens!! It's probably the lowest point in terms of racing for Godolphon that I can remember!

She was a bit more accomplished then you make it sound. While only listed, she destroyed them in the UAE Oaks and was 3rd in the UAE Derby (albeit, 8 lengths back).

Hasn't Godolphin gone the non-graded or even non-stake route with other horses coming off a lay-off?

To answer my own question they brought Discreet Cat back in an optional claimer at Saratoga.

I daresay that the return to the races of one of last year's best mares does warrant comment, for good or ill.

But of course

It's common sense. Honestly.

Of course, that is why she was your top pick today online.

Another bridge jumper goes down by betting the horse to place for about 150,000.:eek:

She was a better bet at 1:9 than the winner at 5:1 wise guy.
