Because I'm so disappointed that he isn't winning these sort of races. Even when he won, it wasn't a big race, but I was happy for him.

I thought he should have won the race the other day. I was disappointed when you said he was third.

You were right about my dislike for Godolphin. Everyone knows that, but you were wrong about this horse. I was talking about him as an individual and not Godolphin as a whole.

His form may have regressed for any trainer, but I thought he would improve as an older horse. So to see him like he is now is very disappointing.

How the hell was I wrong about this horse when all I did was wish him (and Einstein and Hotstuff) luck?

If i were wrong about him, I'd say it. I've been wrong a lot but unlike you i think i admit it pretty easily and without being condescending and a hothead.

I wasn't wrong about him though as my expectations were not high.

Doesn't mean I don't like him an awful lot... I do.

Anyone know if Cherry Mix was retired? Not listed in horses in training anymore.....

Thanks in advance.

I imagine he has been then. I thought they would retire him last year. Is he still a full horse, I can't remember off the top of my head.

As far as i know, he's a horse.

When and why did they buy Colorado Rapid?

He doesn't seem like the sort of horse they would purchase. Just a handicapper over here for Mark Jonston, I think.

Hope they haven't got big plans for him.

Many Colours always looked like she could be much better than she actualy ha shown on the track so far, she will be interesting.

I meant you were wrong about this horse in the Godolphin context. Not the fact you were wrong about the horse himself, but you said I was disappointed with him as another kick at Godolphin and on this occasion I promise it was not. That is what I meant you were wrong about.

If that is your honest opinion of me, then fine.
