Nor would my friends consider the same comments from me as objective. The rest? Opinion. Good? Bad? I don't know.

He did agree with the article having worked at the same level as Crisford etc. Their staff turnover is very high, something which i didn't realise. I know their is a lot of unrest in the camp at the moment, and much of it is to do with the training techniques and who should be training the horses. There are certain people that have got in "far too deep", if they took more of a back seat role and got on with the jobs they are employed to do, i think the operation will start to role again. But why they think that they can buy the competition for success they will continue to fail. As i have said, maybe now they have a few (what look to be) outstanding stallion prospects they will discontinue to 'scatter' buy at any cost, and start to put faith into their breeding operation. I hope that is the case, because they are killing racing over here by doing that, racing fans don't like it and they are getting frustrated (like me)

As an aside, since you mentioned Caradak he's doing well.
I don't need to comment on the rest..... What you're doing now is posting the same thing over and over and merely changing the words around. It seems you're looking for a fight and lording over this thread, demanding answers from anyone who would disagree. Is it that hard to respect opinions other than your own? This whole I-know-best-cause-my-friends-told-me mentality is getting old.

Caradak, he's been injured and he is just about to come back on track. Not looking for a fight at all. Well, you are all disagreeing with me but no evidence has been brought to the table. I have said i am annoyed with Godolphin's tactics, i have listed horses they have purchased that have either been injured or lost their form. what does this suggest? Well, i trust my friends and people "in the know", i'm not going to tell them "you speak crap" when they obviously know much more than us.

These are ALL opinions. You think you have evidence because you posted an article? This is turning into tales of the absurd now.

Okay, opinions, whatever, but they are opinions that add up. I cannot see how the information i am told by employees is opinion, though? They know what is going on, they know the horses. We don't. I don't want to fight. I'm very passionate about this, i have seen far too many good horses ruined by them (seemingly) and it is damaging racing over here. I know it is different in the States because as far as i know they are doing pretty well with the few horses in training over there. Although i'm getting fed up with asking how Zada Belle is and what is happening with Utopia? You have to understand that.

believe it if you want but don't come on here in a condescending tone like you have all the facts. and certainly don't attempt to make fun of the opinions of others on here that politely and passionately disagree. they believe in what they are saying also. you've made your point, you don't anything about Godolphin.

Another $3million down the drain?
Last night a colt named Al Naahadth made his long awaited debut (there had been quite a few 'noises' in Newmarket about him), he was very well bet to back the high opinion up...... and he was beaten 16 lengths out of sight. The write up from the Racing Post says it all: There would have been some glum faces in Dubai as they tried to come to terms with the abysmal debut of the well-backed Al Naahadth, who cost a staggering $3m as a yearling. By Storm Cat out of a Breeders' Cup Distaff winner, his looks matched his pedigree, but he was quickly under pressure and showed no promise whatsoever. His pedigree is beautiful (storm cat - Ajina). I don't suppose anyone saw him go through the sale a couple of years ago?? He must have been some looker. Maybe greeness, but it was a weak maiden and the Godolphin second string finished miles in front of him. We shall see what happens next time before making too much out of this.
