What is Godolphin thinking?

I don't get it... why would Godolphin point Music Note for the Filly and Mare Sprint? That is very disappointing - I can only assume by Mettee's comments that they are higher on Cocoa Beach than MN?

Music Note is not a sprinter even though she just won the Ballerina.....she barely lost the 3 year old filly championship last year. What kind of sense does this make?

I know you have a thing for Music Note, but come on. She's clearly a VERY talented sprinter and there's much reason to believe that she's better at 7F than 8, 9, or 10.

Like BWS said - makes a ton of sense.

And if they're high on Cocoa Beach they're crazy.

Well, given the quotes in that article, it's obvious they are very happy with CB.

What makes you think MN is better at 7 furlongs than at longer distances? I don't see it.......is it based on one perhaps fluky performance?

I don't think her performance the other day was fluky - I think it was VERY impressive even though the two horses she beat may have been compromised.

The bottom line is that she's somewhere at the top of the F+M sprint division, but probably isn't in the same league as Rachel (won't matter for the BC), Zenyatta, Icon Project, and Careless Jewel.

Godolphin also has Seventh Street.

I would love the chance to bet Informed Decision over Music Note on the plastic.
