you also mentioned music note; i'm sure you saw she's about to make a start with hopes of getting into the distaff.

i'm no fan of the sheik, but i'm not sure why this move is causing an uproar. it's late in the year, racing options are thinning. if he missed much of the year due to illness/injury, then no one 'wasted' the year.

I agree he's not ready for longer races, but the Kelso? That seems right up his alley. I didn't get Mettee's comment about how shortening him up would work. Yes, he can win because he's talented, but he's not a pure sprinter and I think he'd be better off in the Mile. He wasn't injured or sick that I know of............and I'm not sure what your point is with Music Note. These abbreviated campaigns (which are planned on purpose) are annoying. I looked forward to seeing Girolamo run this year, so yes - to me this year was a waste. I don't think this move is resulting in an uproar - it's just a couple of us disagree with it.
