I don't agree at all as far as the dirt races are concerned.

And as far as the turf races go - we tend to get the top few horses from Europe in most years...while the Dubai World Cup comes at a time when Europe's best are on the sidelines.

If you look at this years World Cup - it was basically a showcase for South African turf horses and American dirt horses.

The only reason America doesn't own the UAE Derby is because none of our decent 3yo's go there...unless it's a case like with Discreet Cat or Express Tour and Street Cry where they are Godolphin owned runners who were American 2yo's.
