This was in the DRF yesterday.

Thanks. Totally missed that one. Forgot that It's Tricky came from Aqueduct, too. Still a question mark is why, having started in Florida, was Alpha sent back north? Captivating Lass has been in NY the whole time. Maybe McLaughlin has another Derby prospect in Florida.

I guess I should just be thankful that Alpha isn't in Dubai.

Little Belle came off the inner too.

So did Flashing.

I was wondering who the other two were. Thought they meant 2011 only.

Of course, the difference between Alpha and those 3 were that the latter didn't debut at Saratoga and have Grade 1 races on their resumes beforehand. In fact, for what it's worth, Alpha is already considered a "Godolphin" colorbearer. The others were second string until they progressed beyond the Darley label.

What's the difference between Darley and Godolphin? Are the Blue Silks significant? Didn't the senior towel head suggest he was done running a Godophin stable in US? What is Rick Metee up to now?

One is first string and one is second string.

I think typically that is the intentions of dividing them up like that, but Godolphin has had plenty of very bad runners while Darley had some top runners, like Invasor (pretty sure he was Darley).
