Welcome back, Leo!

[my miss storm cat]

I believe Leo left Dubai for Belmont at the end of January.....

Some of their horses do quite well after the long layoffs..... Afrashad, Army of Angels, I believe Librettist as well.....

Aaaah well. Wish i were going.

The reality is these Godolphin horses are being dramatically overbet, one after the other, and pretty much severely underperforming their odds. Sure, they have some exceptional talents, and these horses can overcome the layoffs ( though moreso in Europe ), but people are betting year plus layoff horses as though there is nothing to be concerned about. This is most certainly a recipe for pari-mutual disaster. Case in point, Mathematician in tomorrow's 8th race.....why on earth would anyone take 3:1 on him last time?

To be honest, the most interesting Godolphin entrant tomorrow is buried on the AEs as an MTO in Leo's race......Minefield. A lot of people, myself not included, were excited by him last year. Personally I'm surprised to see Godolphin rushing him back after just seven months. Certainly he needs another six to ten months to really be ready for another race.

I hope it's not Godolphin's day. My boy El Prado Rob (see avatar) is in the 8th.

Priceless!

I understand your thoughtful analysis and good points all.....

It's just that i look at the same thing through different eyes.

Very happy to see both Leo and Palace Episode entered.

I'm always glad to see these horses back, though I wish they came back more often and after less of a layoff, but from a betting standpoint these Godolphin horses are usually reasonable bet againsts.
