If she winds up in Dubai, I'll be on her fan bandwagon, though.

She did win the Oaks down under.

Kastoria out, retired...

Red Dazzler likely to swerve.

Miss Storm Cat,

I don't know whether you've seen that Ace is running in Dubai under the care of Satish Seemar. He ran twice in Abu Dhabi at the backend of last year over 7f and 1m, and was supposed to run on the first day of the Carnival last week before pulling out.
To be honest Seemar has his work cut out, because the number of horses that have improved for leaving O'Brien are extremely few and far between...in fact I can't think of any!

Oh believe me......... she knows............. she screams everytime she notices his name in a race.....

and you could never convince her that he isn't as good as he once was. so be careful she doesn't beat you with a stick now that you have said that

I do have to agree though, i can't see him doing much, although if they can manage to win a race with him he may just get plenty of confidence from that and go onto better things.

You having any bets on the Nad Al Sheba card today.......?

I think I'll leave it a few more weeks before getting stuck into anything properly at the Carnival, just to see where things stand. Today, Munaddam is a horse who I think will do well this season, but seems in a tough spot here.
Mike de Kock is the man to follow in Dubai, so I'll probably chuck a few quid at Whistledownthewind and Bennie Blue.
I'll be very interested to see how Tax Free gets on on the dirt, with an eye towards the Golden Shaheen.

Yourself?

I have to thank you for posting this.....

As No Chance said, yes I absolutely do scream and jump up and down and carry on every time!

Luckily King Jock ran today (and i wasn't cheering against him, NS... I was just so happy he wasn't going up against Ace again )so here's hoping Ace is entered next week.

Thank you, thank you thank you though! I was devastated when I heard back from Coolmore and from friends, that he'd soon be off to (gasp!) India. I imagined him in scenes from films i had seen, shot in Bombay..... very sad.

I'm so thankful he's in Dubai and with SS and yes..... he WILL win one of these days and he'll be brilliant.

..... and if not? Well, he's still my favorite anyway. Win or lose, he's pure heart.
