On top of that, Godolphin/Darley captured 3 races on the undercard - including winning the Gr. II Woody Stephens with Songster...I still think Darley's Henny Hughes is their best 3-year-old sprinter and may prove it by years end...

Further more even, DUBAI ESCAPADE absoluety crushed her rivals in the Gr. II Vagrancy...breaking Smokey Glacken's heart through a 44-second half-mile and then finishing off of that fast pace to win clear by several lengths in 1:15 1/5....just sick fast..best filly and mare sprinter in the world on dirt...

Darley/Godolphin horses...watch out

they're doing well over in the states and after a very shakey start are getting into form over in europe just in time for royal ascot next week. They have some talented older horses ready to race like shawanda and proclamation. They have some amount of talent but there are still enough non-godolphin horses over here to make it very tough for them!

Joel, the more and more I think about it, the more I agree with your assessment. It isn't going to be east coast vs. west coast anymore...it's going to be the Americans vs. the Sheiks. The question is are Bernardini and Songster even their two best horses?

She earned a 105 Beyer speed figure for her Vagrancy win...solid...and that is with Eoin Harty training her!!!...(not a huge fan of that guy as a trainer, wish Bin Suroor or Albertarni had her)...doubt they seriously consider running her against the boys in the BC Sprint, but she is pretty fast..
