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.
I don't like them. I never have. The way they train the horses, the way they treat their staff. The way they have ruined Newmarket.

However, this was to do with the horse. Whoever had trained him, I would have said the same. He was the horse I was certain would be a bit special, ya know. For him to turn out like this is quite upsetting. I cringe when I see him run.

It does happen to other horses, you're right, but I was adament Palace Episode was going to be a seriously good horse.

I often find the first few weeks the most interesting because I see horses from South America that I've never heard of and I like to see them compete against some of the English and Irish horses that will be out there.

I am fascinated with the South American horses that ship there. You can almost follow them blind and make a profit in the first month of the carnival.

So he wins and he wasn't "ruined" but you cringe when he's 3rd...

Because I'm so disappointed that he isn't winning these sort of races. Even when he won, it wasn't a big race, but I was happy for him.

I thought he should have won the race the other day. I was disappointed when you said he was third.

You were right about my dislike for Godolphin. Everyone knows that, but you were wrong about this horse. I was talking about him as an individual and not Godolphin as a whole.

His form may have regressed for any trainer, but I thought he would improve as an older horse. So to see him like he is now is very disappointing.

How the hell was I wrong about this horse when all I did was wish him (and Einstein and Hotstuff) luck?

If i were wrong about him, I'd say it. I've been wrong a lot but unlike you i think i admit it pretty easily and without being condescending and a hothead.

I wasn't wrong about him though as my expectations were not high.

Doesn't mean I don't like him an awful lot... I do.

I meant you were wrong about this horse in the Godolphin context. Not the fact you were wrong about the horse himself, but you said I was disappointed with him as another kick at Godolphin and on this occasion I promise it was not. That is what I meant you were wrong about.

If that is your honest opinion of me, then fine.

I imagine he has been then. I thought they would retire him last year. Is he still a full horse, I can't remember off the top of my head.

When and why did they buy Colorado Rapid?

He doesn't seem like the sort of horse they would purchase. Just a handicapper over here for Mark Jonston, I think.

Hope they haven't got big plans for him.

Many Colours always looked like she could be much better than she actualy ha shown on the track so far, she will be interesting.

Fiesta Lady looked good and will be much better over 1mile + I imagine she will be trained in America after the carnival.

Which reminds me, what ever happened to Folk?

Not heard anything about her, though?

How many runs did she have in America after last year's Dubai carnival was over?
