That is funny, I seen him and Lost in the Fog together in the paddock @ Churchill in June and The fog was much bigger. However, the Fog was the Best looking horse I have ever seen in person.

What is amazing is the whole track and barns. Everywhere is just so green and beautiful, looks like a golf course. Then you go outside the gates and nothing but sand. From what I have heard everything is first class all the way. Even down to the bottled water they ship in for the horses.

It is a Golf Course!!..if you go for a tour of the track, they dont make you walk around. You get to drive the golf buggies from place to place. They have GPS in those buggies as well!!

Surprisingly, Dubai gets only 6% of its revenue from oil.

Is that because they can't refine it? I'm not sure if they have refineries there.
