It's a New Year's Resolution of mine to attempt to try and stay on top of Flat racing this time around, not easy given that jumping takes up most of my time as it is, but put the hours in and thee shall be rewarded. Starting with Dubai, racing I usually can't abide, but it seems to me that ex-Godolphin horses are the way to go; it's miraculous (or not) how they improve for leaving Dusty Bin and, equally so, how they don't for joining him (a la Sugar Ray; Stoute to Bin Suroor, NOT a good trainer change!). Also back anything that Filthy Luca runs, even if they go off at stupid odds, I don't know if he's only running Presvis, but he won't send a horse over there just for the fun of it.
