Not sure I'd want to have a horse's first race back against Munnings, Big Drama and Capt. Candyman Can..

I love watching the sheiks at work.
Can they make any worse decisions with this horse?

As the great long-lost BTW once said 'any money this horse takes will help eliminate the take out.'

i would not be so quick to judge. they know how to enter horses. why did they enter gayego in an optional allowance? because the horse was not ready for top competition. obviously, the thought is, this horse is ready to fire. he ran great in ny last year . people get all caught up in one or two races that are bad. put the horse on the right surface, when its healthy and happy. they bounce right back. not saying i'm betting him but i won't just toss him yet either.

Have not heard a yes or no from Camp Rachael.

Sounds like the Conclave has met, but no white smoke has yet been seen.
