Okay, opinions, whatever, but they are opinions that add up. I cannot see how the information i am told by employees is opinion, though? They know what is going on, they know the horses. We don't.

I don't want to fight.

I'm very passionate about this, i have seen far too many good horses ruined by them (seemingly) and it is damaging racing over here. I know it is different in the States because as far as i know they are doing pretty well with the few horses in training over there. Although i'm getting fed up with asking how Zada Belle is and what is happening with Utopia?

You have to understand that.
its all opinions and hearsay. even if it came from a friend and you believe it, that doesn't make it a fact. one or two people making off the cuff remarks about a large operation doesn't constitute any like factual data. its hearsay.
believe it if you want but don't come on here in a condescending tone like you have all the facts. and certainly don't attempt to make fun of the opinions of others on here that politely and passionately disagree. they believe in what they are saying also. you've made your point, you don't anything about Godolphin.

That is fair enough.

I believe what they have to say, and i know that they are much better informed than any of us.

These two have probably sat on every horse that has been through the Godolphin operation and are very good horsemen, so they know when people are failing to train racehorses properly. They just do as they're told, if they give their opinion that differs from the 'boss' or crisford they can expect to be riding the crap horses for a while.

Saeed is a great horseman, also, and when things go wrong people get on his back, but in reality, he does very little there, but he deserves a more pominant role.

There is a word for people being afraid of change, and i think this word relates to Godolphin.

They need to change or else they will continue to struggle.

I apologise for my hot headed nature. This is something i am very passionate about, i'm just sick of them ruining good horses they have purchased.

Not something to be proud of, i don't think.

I'm not a person to give up on anything. I have been taking on many different issues today, mostly with our local authorities, now they really make me mad

Debating is fine, sarcasm is fine, fighting is fine but when you two start up and it begins to get personal? I know it's gonna turn into a big problem and I can't be here all day to babysit so I just wanted BOTH of you to get the message.
