Godolphin watch, 2008

Poor boy. He used to be good.

He was a very good 2yo.

3rd in what i thought was a nice field.

But compared with how good he used to be, he has regressed dramatically.

Oh so what.

Sure, he's never lived up to that Racing Post Trophy win but really..... it's only that he's with Godolphin that you say this. It never gets old for you, huh?

Nice horse, he has his fans and we can live with him coming in a nice third.

So what??

I was hoping he'd be a Guineas horse as a 3yo, maybe even an Epsom Derby horse. I was really looking forward to his three year old campaign........ that's what!

Can't wait until the carnival starts!

Hopefully Gotodubai will give us some extra insight since he's there.

Yeah i understand that but it's not like he's the first not to repeat his 2YO form.

I'm not being sanctimonious here but if you're a fan of a certain horse, is it so terrible to just accept them for what they are instead of getting all bitter?

Horses like We Can Seek who had these flashes of brilliance, G1 winners... sometimes you just need to remember how good they were and move on.

I don't believe this is really about Palace Episode though... you can't resist a chance to take a shot at them. That's what this is about.

Ya know what Gioia, you're wrong, but....... think what you like. I'm done.
