Girolamo
 
Anyone see his return on Sunday at the Spa? He won his debut here last year, then ran ok in the Futurity and not so well in the Champagne (I think he emerged with an injury, which is why he wasn't sent to Dubai). He showed a lot more speed (not sure if I like that - too easy to get caught up in a speed duel, like he was on Sunday) and still won easily.......with a 99 Beyer. Should I bother getting excited? Thanks!

He's alright, but he missed a lot of good races. What's next ? The Kings Bishop ? Vineyard Haven might be going there, I'm not sure they would run both of them.

With the way VH performed in Dubai this winter, I dont think they would be real confident in a G1. So why not give Girolamo a shot.

I think the chances of Godolphin bringing VH into the King's Bishop off a layoff are remote. I would imagine they'll try to get a N3X to go (I think he's still eligible) or an overnight stake.

I thought Girolamo looked great yesterday but the track seemed to be kind to those on the front end.
