Last time I saw Editor in Chief he was in the Baffert barn in SoCal, not doing much. Guess he broke his maiden somewhere. (Another dismissed from The Program.)
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

Yeah, transferred to Rudy Brisset, he broke his maiden just over a week ago at Turfway.

Saturday:
Later on the Doncaster card, Charlie Appleby unleashes the full brother to Ghaiyyath—last year's world champion and winner of the Hurworth Bloodstock Coronation Cup (G1), Coral Eclipse (G1), and Juddmonte International (G1)—in Khaiz.

....

The Irish flat season is already up and running and the card at Navan on Saturday opens with a maiden, in which Young Angel is set to make her debut. The Dermot Weld-trained filly, a Ballylinch Stud homebred, looks all speed on paper being by Dark Angel out of Qatar Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp (G1) heroine Wizz Kid, who was also a dual winner of the Prix du Gros-Chene (G2).

Tenebrism became Caravaggio’s first winner today at Naas. She is out of G1 winner Immortal Verse, one of the few fillies to beat Goldikova.

I didn't know that Questing had died, that's too bad, I loved her when she was racing. Between Questing and It's Tricky, Godolphin lost two good mares too young, but at least they left at least one quality foal behind.

very thrilled for her!
guilty confession: it takes me a few seconds when i see MSW in this context to go "right, not Multiple Stakes Winner, thats Maiden Special Weight" :lol:

Little Belle also died young, but did leave behind G1W Dickinson as one of her 3 foals.

Oxo Equine the owner. Paid a bunch for him. Getting a bit tired of these business forecasting / investing type names.

Don't know how much talent is there, but I do not think that is mostly why he ran so badly. The horse didn't look race fit in the walking ring ( he is big and still has a bit of baby fat on the belly), and then he was throwing his head and climbing some from the get go. I think they will have to work out some mental issues with him.

Plus the race was only 6.5f. PotN babies generally need longer.
