Races in Dubai shouldn't have any effect on voting for US awards than English or French ones should. If Discreet Cat can beat Invasor at level weights in the US, that would be different. But DC's people are content to have him beat up on G3 types; he doesn't deserve consideration for a championship on that account alone.
In 1971, no one would have argued that the best 3yo to have raced that year was Hoist the Flag. But he broke down after two starts (allowance and the Bay Shore S), so the championship went to Canonero II (Kentucky Derby, Preakness) over Bold Reason (Travers, American Derby, Hollywood Derby). You don't get the championships if you don't run in the top races.
