The Sentimental Vote - Dubai
 

Kinda a cross between Esoteric and International but hey... we can have fun here too. :p

Okay, name one horse you'd like to see do well..... even if they don't have much of a shot.

Sentimental vote Young Craig is hellishly ugly needs the win to cover his bad looks:cool:

I really want both Quijano and Mystical to throttle everyone in their respective races.

And for Premium Tap to wire the field in the DWC and break the track record

What's wrong with Young Craig?

I mean, some say Apache Cat (applause! :D ) is (gasp!) not attractive, but we all know better.....

I have a couple, that I would love to see do well,

Nightmare Affair - been a good one for me many times, a tough veteran campaigner. Would love to see him hit the board or better.

Collier Hill, this 9yo I have come to admire for his consistent gameness.

Both of these are up against it but would love to see them in the spotlight on Saturday.

I have a few (..... okay, about 20 :D ). Some go without saying (Lava Man, Flashy Wings, Thajja) but who I've accepted might not have much of a chance.

Who would mean the most to me, if he were to do well?

Bullish Luck.

I know, I know.....

Have followed him for years and i'm well aware of what he can and cannot do. First time on dirt, etc. etc. but it would mean the world to me to see him fire and get up for a piece of it, although chances are, well.....

He's had issues..... a virus, surgery, takes him a while to get fit, has an egomaniac trainer who went from being very good to running some into the ground (poor Russian Pearl, poor Silent Witness) before they were thankfully retired.

Anyway, hope he does okay, comes home safe and is treated how he deserves to be treated and retired on a high note before he goes the route of Russian.

Godspeed Mr. Luck. Good luck, Brett Prebble. Screw you Tony Cruz.

I just think in one as Mood mentions MYSTICAL .
Sometimes the sports results give to a hole country hope and a feeling of pride. An the people from India will love to see their horse became a International Champion .

So come on MYSTICAL.

Hell yes, if that Indian bred comes down the lane in the lead, I am gonna be cheering.

Except I am producing the races so I can't get too excited or I'll miss the finish.

You should have seen the photo a couple of weeks back Craigs girlfriend is a absolute stunner:eek: & he looked like the cat that swallowed the mouse ;)

I had a horse once i reckoned was so ugly i used to run it in blinkers not because it shyed but to hide its head ,reckon thats why the cat wears em ? Just jokin :cool: They look damn pretty win they win like that

Both get tested for class...but both are amazing animals.

I'll have wagers down on them! :)

Bullish Luck. Did he not put Silent Witness' streak to rest? And I guess with 7 horses on the dirt he has more of a chance to make some $ than with the 16 on the turf where he probably belongs. I dont know what the purse breakdown is though. I like how the British announcers in Hong Kong make his calls, " and on comes Booolish Luk"

Bad Girl Runs!!!!!!!!!!

Have read a bit about her here.....

http://www.sahorseracing.com/index.asp

Do you happen to have a link to any of her races?

* * *

Pgardn.....

Why yes, he did. It was The Champions Mile...

All of Bullish Lucks races can be seen here..... :)

Be still, my heart. :D

Ha ha, they sure do. :)

MMSC, I'll give him this much. Invasor and Discreet Cat are both in for a bit of a fight if he has a chance to run in the lane and takes to the dirt. He has a nice attitude for a racehorse it seems from watching his races. Does his job well and is generous.

He doesn't know who Invasor or Discreet Cat are, and I doubt that he gives a ****.

That's a great line! :D

Eu Tambem in the Derby, Forty Licks in the World Cup and Nelore Porã in the Godolphin Mile

bullish luck
and vengeance
of rain.

they don't call
them the
raiders
for nothing,
right arljim?

wear red.
:cool:

indeed, they are the raiders. they are in tough spots but I hope they make Hong Kong proud.

PS, whats the red for?

Last year when the HKJC arranged for supporters to fly out to some of the international races, they'd all wear red on race day.

Tried to find shots of the HK crowd during last years running but alas..... I have a little bit of a life and so must give up now. :D

Oh thanks, I figured something like that.

Well, in keeping with that spirit I will put on my red shorts in the morning ti watch the races. Its the only red thing I own. I hope that will do.:rolleyes:

we will expect
a picture
if either
raider wins.
:D

there's a first
time for
everything,
maybe it
will be theirs.
:)

No problem, I'll even autograph it just for you.:)

will u draw
a hk flag too?
:p

They are all close to favorites but...

INVASOR - why this horse still doesn't have the fan base of Rockport Harbor is one of life's greatest mysteries.

Asiatic Boy & Folk...would LOVE this exacta, either way, Eu Tambien in 3rd would be icing on the cake

National Colour

Admire Moon

YEA!!!!! :D

It's cause of the red shorts I'm wearing!

They are weeping in Hong Kong.....

Not the people. That'll be when they parade VOR at Sha Tin.

The horses.

Someone called the Japanese pair Raiders. :eek:

Do these people not realize that is a term reserved for HK? :p

HOORAY FOR HONG KONG!

A temporary extension was permitted for the "raider" term to include all asians. Slight breach of protocol I know, but everyone's excited so you can't blame them.

Doesn't change things..... they're ALL crying.:D

Dear Bullish Luck.....

Are you tired? Me too!:D

I'm SO proud of you! Told you the dirt was nothing to be afraid of.

Smoochies and peppermints,

my miss storm cat

An absolutely thrilling day for the 'sentimental vote'! :) The two girls were a bit of a disappointment, but looked to have come home safe at least. Awful break for National Colour.
