It's only been since 2004..... give him some time.  He returned home this week from Dubai..... hopefully he'll race again and not be retired. Not yet..... * * * As an aside, here's an excerpt from a UAE press release..... Godolphin’s Utopia aimed at Metropolitan Handicap May 10, 2007 Utopia, winner of the 2006 Godolphin Mile (Gr.2) and the recent Westchester Handicap (Gr.3) for Godolphin, will be aimed at the 114th running of the prestigious one-mile Metropolitan Handicap (Gr.1) at Belmont Park on May 28. Godolphin assistant trainer Rick Mettee confirmed on Wednesday that the seven-year-old son of Forty Niner, who could be a prized addition to the Darley America stallion roster at the conclusion of his racing career, will try the Met Mile, known as a race that has yielded significant sires. “It’s going to be a tough spot, but he’s a seven-year-old and we’d really like to try to win a Grade 1 with him in this country,” Mettee said. “I wish I had a little more time with him, but he’s done well since the Westchester (on May 2) and there’s only one Met Mile.” Last edited by my miss storm cat : 05-10-2007 at 01:37 AM.

I like Utopia alot but he form gets very patchy when he runs a few races in quick succession.. He needs them spread out, I believe to be at his best, but I suppose Godolphin will be trying to get a G1 in to him and it may be easier here than one of the summer races with Invasor...

another by the way, tector.
i looked up the pedigree of your name, tector, and it was quite interesting. apparently, the dam of your namesake is a daughter of his own sire! i'm not sure i've ever seen a stallion bred to his own daughter before.

Steve/Rog told me about this place. Saratoga is unlikely this year (although I've been there 2 of the last 3 years)--I'm heading up to the Belmont. That will be the first TC race I've ever been to (although I've been to an even dozen BCs). The Derby is too much of a zoo (I hate CD anyway), and Pimilico is a total dump from all I've heard. But Belmont I like--so I have to root for SS in the Preakness to have a possible TC on the line. This is my advice about Saratoga--I know how you are about crowds: avoid the weekends, ESPECIALLY the Travers weekend. It is just too much of a zoo. Weekdays are the ticket. It's a cool place. Keeneland is my favorite, but Saratoga is up there.

Bone chip sidelines Spring at Last By STEVE ANDERSEN INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Spring at Last, winner of the $1 million Godolphin Mile in Dubai on March 31, will miss the $600,000 Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park on May 28 because of a bone chip in an ankle, trainer Doug O'Neill said. Spring at Last, 4, is scheduled to undergo surgery to have the chip removed Monday. An assessment on how long he will be sidelined will be made following the operation, O'Neill said. A lengthy layoff could eliminate long-range plans to start Spring at Last in the newly created $1 million Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Monmouth Park on Oct. 26. "A lot of it depends on what the vet says," O'Neill said. Owned by Paul Reddam and WinStar Farm, Spring at Last has won 3 of 10 starts and $795,650. He was second in the Malibu Stakes and Strub Stakes last winter.
