The Prodigal Son returns in all of his great glory!

[PatCummings]

Well, you know we'll disagree on many elements.

I've criticized Ajtebi privately (some on this board have heard it) in the past but he has dramatically improved this meet. His rides on Siyaadah in the UAE 1000 Guineas, Allybar in the second round of the Maktoum Challenge, and Antinori in last week's first race, were fabulous. Dramatic improvements from what I've seen from him in the past.

As for Godolphin...when its your home court, and everyone else is shipping in to play ball and hope to take away your prize, why wouldn't they have an advantage? If you want to believe all the rest, go ahead. I've had those arguments here before, plenty.
