He'll be the 1st American horse entered for the World Cup that has stayed that long and run in a trial race for the big race. The Dubai World Cup handbook actually strongly advises that a horse arrives in the country at least 4 weeks before the race. A piece of advice that has been routinely ignored by American trainers up till now.

It's hard to believe that American connections have ignored the advice of an operation that has ruined as many talented horses as Godolphin.

Not doing that seemed to work okay for: Roses in May, Pleasantly Perfect, Silver Charm, Captain Steve, Invasor, and Cigar.

You just set yourself up for someone to take the "yeah, but what did they do after the Dubai World Cup?" opening.

And that can only lead to one thing....

More wear on my scroll wheel.

Yes, but tell me, what exactly did those horses do after the World Cup?
