This Godolphin thing is interesting

They didn\'t run their numbers yesterday

We all have discussed how lights out they have been in both Europe and US for the last few months.

What do we do with them today?

Is this a surface issue or a testing issue or are other horses just better?

I am struggling with this for today.

Jim, I have no idea who uses what, but ...

The other guy gave Music Note the same figure in her 9f prep last year, in this race last year, and in her 9f prep this year. The number was not fast enough to win this race. She was questionable as the favorite using that product. You can also use simple Beyers, add ground, and come up with a 108 for MN last, and a 110 for Life Is Sweet\'s last 9f run over the surface. And you had to back Music Note up at least a point switching to the pro-ride.

And Sara L was just the type that didn\'t fire last year. Giro and Regal Ransom also look like the ones that didn\'t run well last year. Not saying they won\'t fire, just that it won\'t be a scandal if they don\'t.

Not saying anybody got anything right or wrong, just adding a few more bits of info for all to think about when reaching a conclusion on Godolphin.

Michael I agree and not to pile on I was leery of Cocoa Beech who had not gotten back to last years top.

There was some recovery in her line but she had only gotten back to the 2 3/4 level after having zero\'ed several times last year.

There a couple in today (not Goldolphin) who have the same read to me and I will not be using.
