Dubai Duty Free
 

Great shopping, super race...

Pompeii to beat Flashy!!

Admire Moon looks deadly!!!

asian invasion

daiwa major over admire moon

Pretty amazing the two Japan horses plus Lava Man and English Channel look like they'll be the four favorites here.

still early, but Admire Moon is 14/1 ??

dont forget the other asian Mystical!!

collier would have smoked em

I love Lava Man, But not at 2 to 1 on the road. Are people nuts?

Lotsa value in US pools with Lava Man underlaid @ 2-1. Admire Moon @ 9-1 10 MTP. I kinda like irradesence but 9-1 is too short.

was just thinking the same thing 2hot....but if honey ryder can be the int'l fave, why not lava man?!
i told kev i'd pull for english channel, and feel he has a good shot here-sentimentally, i'd like to see lava man win it-but history tells us he won't show.....so why all the betting on him? hope over experience i guess.

admire moon is going to be tough.

The two favorites are the class of the field, but...
MYSTICAL, KAPIL, FORMAL DECREE & LINNGARI are the "value" underneath & in the "place" hole.

Great price on Admire Moon.

It's bombs away for me in this race.
Looking for Kapil or Linngari to light up the board.

Can't believe Lava man getting pounded, 5/2?

Time to take the laptop out on the balcony, light up a good cigar, and watch these last two races, a couple of the great races of the year.

Good luck to everyone....

My picks were Daiwa Major, Admire Moon, and Pompeii Ruler. I love the Lava Dude and have always thought the adulation of English Channel overdone. The truth is that US turf form has fallen off big-time since the days of Manila and Theatrical.

Lava to win:D

Lava Man at 5/2?WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING?

Then you will wake up,right?

Irridescence / Formal Decree with Seihali or Lava man.....

I will not bet it but I hope he wins it:D

I am taking it that Marty Wolfson isn't in Dubai, since I won't get on a plane.

Has anyone seen his wife there yet? I figured he would send her so that she could spend 45 minutes in the winners circle crying over a 3 minutes speech...

Exacta Box

Irridescence, Kapil, Miesque's Approval, Linngari,English Channel

Lava Man came last, was never in the running, never got a call. Wasn't in the front group, where he likes to be.

Lava Man last....Back to Cali.

English Channel---nothing....Cacique would've done more.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.Lava man showed his true class today.HE IS A CLAIMING HORSE!!!!! HE DOES NOT BELONG WITH THESE!!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! I MADE THE CALL A MONTH AGO!!!
P.S.CALIFORNIA RACING SUCKS!!!!

nice explosive kick by admire moon when it counted.

lava man last :(

He was second all the way down the backstretch.. then went backwards faster than a quarter horse.

he was in second place most of the running before backing up at the top of the stretch....

you're a genius

:confused: he was right on the lead :confused:

I made the call!!!

Should have boxed the exacta. Of course, I put my $2 place on the only one who didn't hit the board.

That's not necessary. I'd be happy to have a claiming horse that's won 4 million.

Hopefully we won't have to watch Lava Man run outside California again. It seems obvious he needs his race day Bute.

c'mon now, he went out on a limb saying lava man wouldn't win shipping--bucking a trend there! :D

What were the results? Don't have it on my tv.

second by a half length at 35:1 ARRRGH!
he wins and I have the tri, damn.

Clueless hubby came in, started talking during the first part of the race. Didn't think I heard 'Lava Man' mentioned.

I am just sooooooo tired of people thinking this horse is something good.He should stick to his Glorified claiming races in California.
