He wasn't injured or sick that I know off.............and I'm not sure what your point is with Music Note. These abbreviated campaigns (which are planned on purpose) are annoying. I looked forward to seeing Girolamo run this year, so yes - to me this year was a waste. I don't think this move is resulting in an uproar - it's just a couple of us disagree with it.

They're potentially running Vineyard Haven and Regal Ransom in the Kelso.
I'm no fan of the way they campaign their horses but cutting Girolamo back is fine. He's pretty overrated when you get down to it, he got pummeled in stakes as a 2YO then came back last year with a jaw-dropping win over Burley's Gold and Kensei in the Jerome, big deal.
