Yes, King Glorious, it is, of course, all about you. The Sheik, in fact, mentioned you in the press conference. Of course, and I know you understand this, I left you out so as not to steal thunder from this momentous occasion.

I did, however, credit you to my editor.

"Valid Notebook, in an all out drive to hold 2nd"

I'd like to know which race Durkin was watching.

If Godolphin doesnt send this guy in the BC Sprint, it may be the worst move by an owner that I've seen in a while. He would OWN that race...

If they send him to the sprint, it may be the dumbest move ever by an owner.

I agree. Racing to the lead in 22.88 is different than being pressured in 21.40 I don't think he has the natural speed to contend with the best sprinters in the world.

BTW, I am not sure what u are getting at when u say it's all about me. I'm asking a simple question here. Why is it so wrong to think outside of traditional paths when may have a horse of a generation?

He doesnt have to be on the lead. He is as effective 5 lengths or so off the pace, which is where he'd be if he ran the fractions he ran today. What an amazing talent, hope he enters in a race with some meaning in it. Otherwise he'll just be another "What if".

Excerpt.....

"He has the class to go to Grade One races now. There is either the Breeders' Cup Classic (Churchill Downs) in early November or the Cigar Mile (Aqueduct) at the end of that month. We will keep the options open and consult with Sheikh Mohammed." - Saeed bin Suroor

This just in....NYRA has altered the conditions of today's finale and in a twisted BC prep Discreet Cat will be running in the 10th.

For purse money only of course.
