Way, way, way over. Mr. Gruff is extremely live in the turf sprint. Euroears and Kinsale King are as well in the Shaheen.

As usual the US horses will be overbet in our pools. Look for overlays

Absolutely. If Victor's Cry is somehow one of the favorites in the Duty Free, as he is on the morning line, then he might be the biggest underlay anywhere in the world for the next month. He has no chance in that race.

Cape Blanco has NO SHOT in the Dubai World Cup - I won't bet a race until Saratoga if he wins. I said to a major UK odds-setter he was the lay of the century, and he replied that he was the lay of the world.

I think Xin Xu Lin is impossible to like in the UAE Derby.

Didn't Lava Man go off favored in the Duty Free?

Sweet Ducks has 0% chance of winning the UAE Derby, as do most of the non DeKock-Godolphin runners.

You can throw out any American turf runners, period. No explanation is needed on that one.

So are you saying as far as the Gondolphin runners go, you love DeKock?

Zanzamar is not Godolphin or De Kock and he has a huge chance in the UAE Derby.

You may want to re-assess your other statement in terms of the Sheema Classic and Al Quoz Sprint. Anyone who thinks Mr. Gruff has no chance in the Al Quoz is crazy.

I'd also hardly be surprised if Champ Pegasus gets a piece of the Sheema Classic. It is one of the weaker runnings of it in recent years.

I wonder if you think he would have a shot if he was a Godolphin horse. At the very least he's an interesting entrant because of his connections. He's probably not going to win, but being this against him because of your allegiance to Godolphin is a poor strategy IMO.

Hell no. I don't know what you think my allegiance to Godolphin is, but I've only tipped one of their horses on top in the Dubai World Cup. Having a willingness to host horse racing and handicapping their horses are two different things.

You're biased towards Godolphin. That's been proven over and over again. Nothing wrong with it, but don't pretend you aren't.

I am protective of NYRA. We all have things we have an allegiance towards.

Tremendous showing by the US contingent once again.

[HaloWishingwell]

Very sentimental moment for the Japanese. Also chalk one up for a grandson of Sunday Silence and my wallet!

That was beautiful.

Can't tell you what it was like to be there amidst the Japanese winning the World Cup - the results basically allowed the rest of the night to fade into the background. Can't wait to talk about it on Steve's show next week.

That's an incredibly awesome result. One of my favourite racing moments.
