Dubai World Cup chit chat thread

[NTamm1215]

I liked Bold Silvano quite a bit but am glad to see Golden Sword back in the fray.

As Pat will certainly discuss on his site leading up to the big night, it would be a terrific story for any of the Japanese entrants to take the top prize. Buena Vista's exploits speak for themselves and she will be plenty tough. Transcend is no slouch either.

The only throwouts at this point for me in the World Cup are:

Fly Down - Synthetics will be an issue and I doubt he's good enough.
Gio Ponti - This is just too much off the bench.
Monterosso - Belongs in the Sheema Classic.
Prince Bishop - If I give a Godolphin horse a chance it's Poet's Voice.
Richard's Kid - Not good enough.
