After watching the Dubai coverage live at CBY yesterday, and then ABC's tape delayed coverage, I wanna move there too. I'll get a house on that man-made palm island they have there.

Remember, the thing is too- The reason for the words "duty free", are because it's a tax free zone. Because the Sheiks make so much $$$ with their "Black Gold", they don't need to tax thier people. That's why business especially are flocking there. That's why there are all those huge sky scrapers being built there (including what will soon be the tallest in the world).

I hear Nad-Al Sheeba is a pretty magnificant track itself, and I love it's design. So I'm not sure why the Sheik wants to build another one. But notice it's the most similar to an American track. It might be to attract more American horses, or to give the Sheik's horses more of a taste of an American-Shaped track (which means it was modeled after Charles Town and Fonner obviously lol JK).

But for us "degenerates" in here (I'm guilty as charged lol), spending some time living and working in Dubia might not be such a bad thing for us. You're right in the heart of Muslim country, so even if you wanted to, YOU CAN'T GAMBLE!
