Hopefully healthy enough to run in the Malibu at Santa Anita.

The loss of Lookin At Lucky was a big blow to the Malibu, but with Alcindor, Noble's Promise, maybe both Twirling Candy and Sidney's Candy, Caracortado, and, who knows, maybe Tahitian Warrior and Thisskyhasnolimit it still could be interesting.

Of course, racing fans who don't get their racing news from Oprah, 60 Minutes, or Monday Night Football, probably would have been salivating at the prospect of another Lookin At Lucky-Noble's Promise showdown (they were never separated by more than 3/4 of a length in 4 matchups).

Could have been the greatest pointless rivalry since Silver Charm v. Free House back in the late '90s.

I think the brain trust already sent Tahitian Warrior on a plane because he worked on 11/20 and hasn't since.

Yeah, I saw that, too. However, I thought there was still a week til December so it didn't register that he should have worked again by now.

Not that it means Tahitian Warrior stayed, but didn't I read somewhere that Godolphin was going to leave a sizable string (in Florida I presume) this winter?

I hope so. Even if they demote him to Darley and leave him with McLaughlin, he has no business going to Dubai, it obviously didn't work last year.

That horse is a total joke. I'm surprised he is being mentioned for a g1 race. He would be demolished.

It's age-restricted. Didn't see his Bold Ruler effort vs. his elders, but certainly his allowance races this summer were more than enough to take a shot.
