whats the best a Dubai shipper ever finished in the derby?

Mubtaahij is a smooth running horse

Master of Hounds 5th place in the 2011 Kentucky Derby.

Mubtaahij dominates the UAE Derby and moves on to Louisville. What a turn of foot. He has the pedigree to win the Derby and should be able to sit a great trip.

I hope a horse with that name never wins the Kentucky Derby. Blech..

It means "Happy," from what I could google.

I felt the same way about the possibility of a TC winner named "I'll Have Another." And Big Brown, come to think of it. Yay! A synonym for poo! Winner, winner!
(Yes, I know he was named for UPS. Not that much of an improvement.)

The only name that really bugged me... Lil e tee. Just seemed too feminine for a colt
