Considering he clearly has (shock of all shocks) an agenda, it's a well-written (slanted!) piece anyway.
A question.... this Mr. Jeffreys ("... they scorn prying eyes"???) is a freelance writer or is he on the staff?
A few points..... most Sunday newspaper features are put to bed on Thursday so I'd assume there were two versions..... the one where the Godolphin runner won and this one. I'm assuming, of course, that this piece appeared in the print version.
My reason for bringing this up is that it seems to me a pre-meditated (what's a word for an attack that doesn't seem like it's an attack? Insert it here) .... his ducks were lined up and he was just waiting, hoping to use the better version where the runner failed.
The part the author left out was the fact that they didn't have faith in Laverock and PUBLICALLY SAID SO a day or two before the race.
Jealousy is a funny thing and i keep wondering if they were not Arab.....
There is racism in racing... has it always been that way?
To be fair, Godolphin has had 14 winners in the past month...

How long will they last, you ask? Hopefully for a longass time. They support racing all over the world, they're good for the game and this microscope that they're under is not only unfair it's getting old.
It's their money.... when they offer exorbitant amounts for horses no one bothers to slam the seller(s).....
Okay well I can go on and on here but I'll end it.
GO GODOLPHIN, GO!
