Well perhaps after the vet visits "Middy" all will be well..Do you realize that Gopolphin horses have never had a positive in Dubai..Imagine your the lab guy grinding a living, one of the Shieks horses tests bad and you have to tell the world he cheated.. Maybe that isn't a good career move? ah?

Oh dear,

the amount of people who believe that to be the case. I wouldn't put it past them, but the news WOULD get out and racing is held in such high regard over there that they would be classed as evil sinners.

Anyway, drugs tests all have to be checked overseas.

I'm no fan of Middie, but I thought he ran OK. Tired late after having being used early for position from the difficult outpost, and then at least 3+ wide.

I've always respected the winner. He's Einstein of Arabia.

Is that the opposite of an Arab in Princeton?

Like I say, it would make no difference as they are checked overseas anyway.

It's one thing to be a Yankee fan but a fan of family that has ruined more good horses then everyone combined? Seriously how are you a fan of Saeed bin Suour? He is a scary talent huh?

HRH Sheikh Mo has done so much for racing internationally...

I'm really not up to having this fight (again) and yeah I know all the arguments.

Respectfully, I admire and applaud the Godolphin organization. I'll leave it at that.

I'm sorry for not understanding the 2nd paragraph... maybe I'm a moron.

As far as the first? Come on... no one ever disses the sellers. It's always the evil boys in blue who buy who are crucified.

IF you spent 300 mil on the sport in 2010 everybody would love you!

Okay, he's given his pocket money to racing charities and supported them, but in relation to the money he has and the money I have, it's no more than giving them $400-500 a year, and I guess I give around that mark to various racing charities.

What else?

I know I go on about this a lot, but because I feel strongly about it. I'm sick of seeing horses I love(d) to watch go to them and then never see them again, or don't see them for over a year.
