More after the race ...
In the link My Miss Storm Cat posted out of Dubai, the horse didn't even get a mention ... Makes ME wonder ... Anyone else ???? In fact, there has been much to be wondering about all this year concerning this fine animal ...
I find this amusing in light of the teeth grinding and tears in the International threads by some over a foreign horse's nosebleeds and booboos ...
I am all about the horse and his well being---any horse---but I find the selectiveness of sympathy offered and in this case, total lack of information at best disconcerting ....

I've tried to keep up with this horse as much as possible.....

While I've heard he didn't exactly look stellar the last couple of times I've never been able to find anyone to back up the claim of him collapsing in the gate. I'm not saying it didn't happen, only that reading the UAE / ERA sites and Gulf News and asking the two people I know in the UAE... I've never found it.
I've looked here too.....

This is the last piece I've been able to find on him...

To be honest I've never been his biggest fan.
Maybe i go overboard about following HK and who was gelded, scratched, etc., but that info is available through the HKJC and through friends and i get a kick out of following a lot of the runners there. I know you understand that.
I don't mean to be selective in my sympathy but it's a little hard when there's next to no news about this one.
Hope he's okay and that he has a good run.
