3/26 (MEY): Dubai World Cup

[PatCummings]

Cape Blanco has NO SHOT in the Dubai World Cup - I won't bet a race until Saratoga if he wins. I said to a major UK odds-setter he was the lay of the century, and he replied that he was the lay of the world.

I think Xin Xu Lin is impossible to like in the UAE Derby.

Didn't Lava Man go off favored in the Duty Free?

Sweet Ducks has 0% chance of winning the UAE Derby, as do most of the non DeKock-Godolphin runners.

You can throw out any American turf runners, period. No explanation is needed on that one.

So are you saying as far as the Gondolphin runners go, you love DeKock?

Zanzamar is not Godolphin or De Kock and he has a huge chance in the UAE Derby.

You may want to re-assess your other statement in terms of the Sheema Classic and Al Quoz Sprint. Anyone who thinks Mr. Gruff has no chance in the Al Quoz is crazy.

I'd also hardly be surprised if Champ Pegasus gets a piece of the Sheema Classic. It is one of the weaker runnings of it in recent years.

Zanzamar is DeKock, but that's OK.

I wonder if you think he would have a shot if he was a Godolphin horse. At the very least he's an interesting entrant because of his connections. He's probably not going to win, but being this against him because of your allegiance to Godolphin is a poor strategy IMO.

Hell no. I don't know what you think my allegiance to Godolphin is, but I've only tipped one of their horses on top in the Dubai World Cup. Having a willingness to host horse racing and handicapping their horses are two different things.

You're biased towards Godolphin. That's been proven over and over again. Nothing wrong with it, but don't pretend you aren't.

I am protective of NYRA. We all have things we have an allegiance towards.

[PatCummings]

You can think what you want. The way I'll put it...when handicapping races, I'm objective. I'll say what I want, how I want, about their horses when in races. If you think otherwise, you're wrong.

2 bets for me.

Wigmore Hall
and Twice Over.

The rest I watch

I wouldn't want to admit I was a Godolphin sycophant either.

If there is anything in the universe that recognizes beautiful moments...


then one of the Japanese entrants should win the World Cup.

If there is anything in the universe that loves fat people and heartless dictators...

then Godolphin will dominate the evening.

And if there is anything in the universe that cares about journalistic integrity and its inability to take a stand against tyranny...

then this post will be deleted.
