Why is Regal Ransom in the Alysheba?

Here's a horse who last season, and through his entire career really, was only successful in opportunistic, paceless, spots. He looked like a horse who's career might be revived by a cutback in distance.

Finally given an opportunity to sprint for the first time since his impressive maiden win a couple of years ago, he responds with a nice--and more importantly, rallying--effort at GP against the likes of Cpt. Candyman Can.

Does Godolphin take the hint?

Nope. Let's try and improve on that impressive 2010 campaign...by running in the same sort of spots. He should be in the Churchill Downs Stakes.

Looks like it's going to be a bad week for the broodmare Kelli's Ransom all the way around...

That picture of her at DRF at the start of the race is pretty gnarly.

Coming into the year, I thought he might end it as HOY. I have been waiting for the light bulb to go off with him and thought he might turn a corner and become a monster. The first couple of starts were horrific but the last made me think that maybe, just maybe, he's on the right path. Of course, it was only against nw1x company.....but the bright side about racing these days is there's very little difference between maiden $20k claimers and grade one horses. You see Equestrio finished third in his stakes debut.

I thought it was after the PA Derby (possibly before) that you were saying he was a positive bum, that is why I was surprised.
