Little Belle was coming off of a tough race where she put away a number of these horses in the Oaks. Came back a bit short by Mclaughlin's standards and ran a game race against a horse who was just hitting her stride. And, dare I say, you are wrong, there wasn't a photo for second. Little Belle was a clear second. But, my point was that the horse went to "Godawful" and without any injury or reason apparent, hasn't worked since April. Certainly a man in possession of the knowledge that you have has some understanding of the Etched, Little Belle, Unbridled Heart ...... "promotions". Just try to resist your urge to beat-up on folks and their opinions. You probably do have alot of info that many of us can benefit from. However, you disrespect yourself and your thoughts with cheap shots that I have seen you take fairly regularly on here.
Who or what is "Godawful?"

Sorry. Godolphin. I have just grown to resent how they waste these great athletes by "promoting" them from the Albetrani's, McLaughlin's, etc.

To get a sense of how bad Proud Belle is, you only need to look at TRAKUS for her race at KEE (4/5/08 R9); in particular, ground covered (feet)

in order of finish

2) Bsharpsonata +26

3) Proud Spell +54 and didn't handle the track

4) Life is Sweet +14

5) Country Star +65

etc.

In fact, this SUCKUP only ran LESS than a single horse in the race--the last place finisher and this by 3 feet.

What a shock that she ran 2nd in the Oaks. Then again, EDGAR was on Pure Clan.

So, to say that Little Belle is NOT MUCH, is to state the OBVIOUS.

Unless, you're one of the 'competition'; and we certainly encourage your opinions.

I am not engaged here in a discussion about Little Belle. My point related to a comment regarding Unbridled Hearts first race under Godolphin. That's all. You are all welcome to your opinions about little belle. She did win however and I think it is at least agreed that the horse was very game in the stretch after running on the lead all the way. BUT AGAIN, MY POINT WASN'T ABOUT LITTLE BELLE BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO HORSES THAT GO TO GODOLPHIN. jeesh. But, if you are reacting to my comments regarding another member here than at least put it out there.
