Poor boy. He used to be good.

He was a very good 2yo.

But compared with how good he used to be, he has regressed dramatically.

Oh so what.

Sure, he's never lived up to that Racing Post Trophy win but really..... it's only that he's with Godolphin that you say this. It never gets old for you, huh?

Nice horse, he has his fans and we can live with him coming in a nice third.

So what??

I was hoping he'd be a Guineas horse as a 3yo, maybe even an Epsom Derby horse. I was really looking forward to his three year old campaign........ that's what!

Yeah i understand that but it's not like he's the first not to repeat his 2YO form.

I'm not being sanctimonious here but if you're a fan of a certain horse, is it so terrible to just accept them for what they are instead of getting all bitter?

Horses like We Can Seek who had these flashes of brilliance, G1 winners... sometimes you just need to remember how good they were and move on.

I don't believe this is really about Palace Episode though... you can't resist a chance to take a shot at them. That's what this is about.

No, if I'm wrong I admit it or I'll preface something, etc. but here?

I'm right, period.

Not only are they the evil empire to you, you insist you know best on any thread where they're mentioned and then go on to chastise me like an idiot child in pm's for giving MY opinion.

You get this kind of weird joy from accusing them of intentionally ruining horses, stuff like that.

I AM right. It's not about Palace Episode.

This coming thursday is the first official day, but we won't start seeing the better horses for a few weeks, I doubt.
