The race is set for 12:15PM EASTERN TIME and can be seen on HRTV, and Capital OTB-TV and other simulcast outlets.
Tough to fill this race from the Carnival condition book with the worlds highest rated dirt horse entered, but five will line up with him. All have 53kg (116lbs), except Curlin who will carry 60kg (132lbs) as set by the conditions.
Can' wait for Thursday, and a very good card of racing for the ninth night of the Dubai International Racing Carnival.

Got this from the ERA website. Why are there 12 horses listed in the entries?
