YOU FORGET FANTASTIC LOVE THATS THE ONE;)

Oh i DID forget him!!!

Like him too. Nice old guy. :)

Don't know if he can win... I'm trying to remember if I saw him win last season.

I DO remember him in that race with Quijano, Hattan, and Ampelio.....

* * *

On Parole Board.....

This is just a thought but he was exported around the same time as Ace-ie and was with Satish.....

India?

I can email Satish and ask my connection in India but can't promise a timely answer.

Fantastic Love didnt run to much in the past few years, but I think is the class in the race, and with the tipe of None winners also, I do believe he has a chance. Lets GO LOVE:o

Well cheers.....

To Love! :D

Thanks, I just always liked watching him (Parole Board), he offered so much and had all the ability in the world, but never really put it in on the track.

He used to be trained in Newmarket (with Michael Bell, i think.... my memory is dreadful) and i saw him doing som easy work a few times and there was a big buzz about him.

I remember him being a big hope for the UAE Derby a few years back.

Hope he's okay.

He won!!!!!:cool:

Daybreak Dancer won too. :)

Good news for the two ex English winners.

Fantastic Love was a nice horse for Mark Johnston, lost his way with Godolphin after a while (don't they all :rolleyes: ) and now he looks to be slowly getting back to himself.

Daybreak Dancer has been very consistant in Dubai since he has been there and there should be a few more wins for him in the coming months. Well done to Doug and Daragh.

Also, i'm glad to see Rory Cleary getting good mounts in Dubai. He is a very good jock in my opinion. He lost his brother in a horror fall a few years back. I happened to be in Ireland when that happened, it was very sad. He died in hospital as we were on the ferry on the way back to England.

Rory made a pledge to try and win the race named after his brother each year, i'm pretty sure he won it this year.

He's a good jock and a nice lad.

THAJJA!

And good luck to Bonecrusher in R2.

Come home safe, everyone.

Final field.

I like Narvik here, liked him when he was trained by Michael Jarvis as a 2yo. Lost his way after that (with Godolphin :rolleyes: )

No one in this field can beat Jonquil!:)

Not even a former jarvis now Godolphin boy.

Ooooh, Iffraaj moment..... be still my heart.:D

Did you see the Emirates Airlines Stakes? That was his first run on dirt.

He ran in Bahrain before that.

Same owner as Boston Lodge...

Nice, nice horse.

The only thing i know about him is that he used to be trained here by John Gosden.

Shall i send Daragh a message and see what he thinks, and if he is able to tell me anything about him?

Yeah that would be fun, especially considering he had the mount!

He also has the mount in this upcoming race. I will send him a message soon. i have no idea what time it is in the UAE at the moment.

He usually gets back to me quickly.

We shall see.

He was fourth, very unlucky, would have won otherwise.

Doug won the race with Opportunist.

Can the old boy make it three in a row tomorrow???

FIGHT

8yo Fight is currently in the form of his life, winning his last two easily.

http://www.emiratesracing.com/eq/Rac...cefile_id=7326


mmsc, can you try and ask Doug what he thinks about his chances?

Yeah Fight looks really good and so do his other two.

I don't think Bonecrusher has actually won since 2003..... gotta root for him even if it's pointless.
