Do you really think so?

I don't.

Respectfully, I think and hope you're wrong.

lads are you for real. Hes run 3 times for them, stumbled first time out, finished 4th, won a G3 very impressively last time out and disappointed like the whole stable the other night.. its very very premature to say he's ruined (RPR has his penultimate run as a Career PB!!)..... some people just want to have a go at Godolphin at every opp that some comments border on the ridiculous...

What term would you like me to use then? They bought him specifically for this race so all of his training and prior races were supposed to set him up for a big effort yet he finished way up the track. This is a horse who probably was the 2nd or 3rd best sprinter in the world last year behind Midnight Lute. Now he is finishing near allowance level horses like Cobalt Blue and Esperamos on a track he had run over. What is the excuse?

What are they going to do with him? Is he coming back over to the US?

One swallow doesnt make a summer..

He beat Star Crowned 4 and a bit lengths giving him weight 2 starts back so using him as a yardstick, Diabolical clearly didnt run his race and would have been close to Benny on his previous run had he run up to form..

Clearly things didnt go right for Diabolical or many of Godolphin's team on Saturday, so their plan didnt come to fruition..

Im sure he'll be stateside this summer.

Watch the race replay and see the ride the guy put on PT. No. 6 with white blinkers. He was up close in the early going, so it's fairly easy to see.
