Asiatic Boy

[ArlJim78]

I posted last night on another thread that I thought this guy was the real deal and that he would handle Day Pass easily.

I think anything is possible with this one right now. I hope we get a chance to see him in the US.

he handled the extra trip very well... i think he's owned by one of the Sheikhs so the US would be the logical step for him, being so good on dirt..

He's a handsome boy:

he could be facing the impressive Eu Tambem in UAE Derby.. could be a interesting race! from racingpost.

EU TAMBEM, impressive winner of the final round of the MaktoumChallenge at Nad Al Sheba, could take on Asiatic Boy in the UAE Derby.

Trainer Ismail Mohammed is eyeing the Dubai World Cup itself with his ex-Brazilian-trained colt, who won Argentina’s dirt Derby before moving to Dubai, where he won Thursday‘s Group 2 in fine style under Kerrin McEvoy, beating Singing Poet an easy five lengths.

“The horse has come out of his race really well,” said Mohammed, who has thrived at the Dubai Carnival with 13 winners.

“It was a very pleasing effort on his UAE bow and he will hopefully have come on for the outing. I was very hopeful beforehand and he certainly did not let me down.

“I said earlier in the week that he was my Dubai World Cup horse if I had one and that race is still under consideration.

“I will talk to the owner though, and the UAE Derby is a definite possible - he is only three of course.”

de Kock: "They won't all be campaigned hard, but it will be a good experience, especially with Asiatic Boy, who I think is a very good horse and could go to Royal Ascot, and Mullins Bay, who could be very competitive."

our boy could be heading over to Europe after all!! will know more after the weekend!
