He's the greatest horse who ever lived..... he just keeps forgetting how to win.

It's only been since 2004..... give him some time.

He returned home this week from Dubai..... hopefully he'll race again and not be retired. Not yet.....

As an aside, here's an excerpt from a UAE press release.....


Godolphin’s Utopia aimed at Metropolitan Handicap
May 10, 2007


Utopia, winner of the 2006 Godolphin Mile (Gr.2) and the recent Westchester Handicap (Gr.3) for Godolphin, will be aimed at the 114th running of the prestigious one-mile Metropolitan Handicap (Gr.1) at Belmont Park on May 28.

Godolphin assistant trainer Rick Mettee confirmed on Wednesday that the seven-year-old son of Forty Niner, who could be a prized addition to the Darley America stallion roster at the conclusion of his racing career, will try the Met Mile, known as a race that has yielded significant sires.

“It’s going to be a tough spot, but he’s a seven-year-old and we’d really like to try to win a Grade 1 with him in this country,” Mettee said. “I wish I had a little more time with him, but he’s done well since the Westchester (on May 2) and there’s only one Met Mile.”
