I also didn;t really fancy Star Empire today, nor Bold Silvano, who I thought would be there for a track gallop in a race which looked very likely not to suit. How wrong I was.

Our Giant and Here To Win..... what happened? I didn't see any racing. I thought they were both good things.

Hard to have had Lord Of The Stars - first horse in Meydan history to make all the running on the grass and stay.

I wasn't a big Bold Silvano fan for today (even though I picked him...doing so on class alone), but off this effort, I think he is the favorite in the Dubai World Cup as a result, until something changes.

Star Empire got away with murder sitting just off a longshot pacesetter who went to the 400 in 28 and 800 in 55 for 2400m+. The longshot almost stayed (Calvados Blues) and Star Empire sat the perfect trip.

Our Giant...he took advantage of a huge pace last time and didn't get it to the same degree today as Inxile wasn't too fast away and then cleared over but without pressure. He ran into a fast pace first up and didn't get near the same this time.
