Hope you bet him

Only in pick threes and couldn't connect them...Warsaw? Really? Didn't like Star Empire either. Oh well..

Looks like a bit of a blood bath for almost everyone. Some of those results are hard the work out. Warsaw? He was probably the first horse I took out. Lord Of The Stars? How on earth has he managed to put in a career best effort from nowhere?

I also didn;t really fancy Star Empire today, nor Bold Silvano, who I thought would be there for a track gallop in a race which looked very likely not to suit. How wrong I was.

Our Giant and Here To Win..... what happened? I didn't see any racing. I thought they were both good things.

Hard to have had Lord Of The Stars - first horse in Meydan history to make all the running on the grass and stay.

I wasn't a big Bold Silvano fan for today (even though I picked him...doing so on class alone), but off this effort, I think he is the favorite in the Dubai World Cup as a result, until something changes.

Star Empire got away with murder sitting just off a longshot pacesetter who went to the 400 in 28 and 800 in 55 for 2400m+. The longshot almost stayed (Calvados Blues) and Star Empire sat the perfect trip.

Our Giant...he took advantage of a huge pace last time and didn't get it to the same degree today as Inxile wasn't too fast away and then cleared over but without pressure. He ran into a fast pace first up and didn't get near the same this time.

Dunlop has been talking like Snow Fairy will go.

Between her and Buena Vista I think the boys should be very afraid.

I'm impressed. I gave up on him a long time ago.

The pp's don't go back this far but I think it was the Norfolk Stakes where he did really badly and then a few after that (at the Curragh).

I just never expected much after that (although he did win a few).

Anyway good for you!

As far as the HK boys, I'll only say this once (yeah, right ) Beauty Flash is going to the Duty Free.

Tony Cruz hasn't had the greatest luck with his runners over there (and I mean all three were ******* superb horses... Bullish Luck (the pre-DWC trips) , Russian Pearl and Floral Pegasus) BUT he doesn't send them over for no reason.

This is a really nice horse.

Here are his records / replays...

I like Our Giant but he never wins 2 in a row!
