I like that day of racing. Its a nice diversion from the bores of Gulfstream and provides a nice oasis from the Inner Dirt track at Aqu, which I like but get kind of sick of by late March. This isnt the first time a horse got DQ'ed that didnt deserve it or vice versa.

It's not like we don't have a ton of rich Americans around that have the power to correct this.If somebody really wants to do something righteous,then pay this owner/trainer,and jock what they deserve,and show that we can make it right.Money is power.Somebody needs to step up,and use their power for good.The one time Willie Martinez has a chance to make really good money,and he gets screwed out of it.Even if you think the connections are wrong for the infraction,somebody should step up and make it right for Willie.Everybody says these jocks risk their lives etc.,and here is a chance to make a wrong right(for a journeyman hard-working jock.)

total BS
I'm with Steve, boycott Dubai. The Classic and the sprint will be real boring without the N.A. contingent. Let them race against each other. I believe the S.A. contingent also left Dubai this year with a bad taste in their mouth as well. Maybe they'll drop out as well. I just hope there is some way to make those people who worked so hard on this whole again.

De Kock did seem really pissed about the Irridescense incident.

That filly that he trained for Team Valor got her leg stuck in the paddock before the Duty Free and they scratched her. Apparently De Kock thought she could run anyway and sent her out on the track and they denied his request to let her run.
She came back and won a big one (I think the QEII) in Hong Kong a few weeks later over Ouija Board. Irridescense is the filly's name, and she was the full sister to another runner in the race named Perfect Promise that was trained by Lee Freedman.
