On Byk's birthday no less. It just doesn't seem right.

As soon as they turned for home in the Distaff you knew her career was likely over. The real shame of it is that Mott was interviewed before the race and was talking about the real possibility of a 2014 campaign.

How so? It's an A nick. The cross hasn't produced a G1 winner, but they're two champions and I don't think Galileo's gotten many Unbridled-line mares. He's been leading UK/Ire sire for the last 3 years. How's it a bad idea?
