The older male division going long is as weak as ever - it's a complete and utter joke with Blame and Quality Road out of the way.
Like with the vast majority of A. P. Indy's - Girolamo's best game will inevitably be going long on dirt. While he has tremendous natural speed for an A. P. Indy .. he keeps having to be rushed along after a furlong or so just to hold position. That's happened in every single race of his this year. He won the Vosburgh inspite of it - because that field sucked.

I admit that I think they have done a lousy job with him......but I figure that he'll be retired anyway now that he has his grade 1. After Bernardini, I've learned not to get my hopes up with Godolphin.
