Since I'm a naysayer......that article is hilarious. Nothing like a little hardnosed journalism. Every horse is " doing great! ".
I can't wait to compare it to some of the post race comments by connections. I can already hear them...." Lava Man just didn't ship well and was never comfortable with his surroundings. " " Dixie Meister shipped over great but seemed to get less and less relaxed each day. " By the way....Dixie Meister? What race is he running in? Didn't he finish a DISTANT fourth in the Cigar Mile? It's a fun day of racing, and I'm looking forward to it, but that article, to me, reads like propaganda.

I hear ya, but I just felt it was worth pointing out that to pay attention to any of that article is potential harmful to any horseplayer's " health ". Frankly, like cigarettes and booze, it should come with a disclaimer.

A special extension probably will be employed to help statuesque Kelly’s Landing feel more comfortable in the starting gate for Saturday’s US$2-million Dubai Golden Shaheen (Gr.1).
Exercise rider Gerry Carwood steered Kelly’s Landing into the gate while it was positioned on the backstretch of Nad al Sheba on Monday morning and declared that the huge gelding needs some more space. “He was good in the gate, but it’s a little bit tight,” Carwood said. “The gate closes on his hock.” Dubai officials have said the type of starting gate used at Nad al Sheba is a bit smaller than the typical gates used in the United States. The extension will give Kelly’s Landing, a Churchill Downs track record setter, that bit of extra room that could help him relax and not feel so confined before the break. The bar-like piece of equipment attaches to the sides of the back doors on the starting stall to allow them to be more open for the hind end while still keeping the doors locked so the horse cannot back out before the start.

I do think the fact that Invasor looks much larger and more muscular to an assistant trainer who has not see the horse in a while is signficant. Discreet Cat beware, the best dirt horse in the world heads your way to claim a crown.
