I'll take Bonecrusher and King Jock, please.
 http://www.emiratesracing.com/era/hit-sale.html DIRC Sale starts tomorrow The inaugural Dubai International Racing Carnival Sale, part of the revamped annual Emirates Racing Authority Horse in Training Sale, takes place tomorrow. The Dubai Racing Club and Europe’s leading auction house Tattersalls have entered into a partnership that promises to add a new dimension to the Dubai International Racing Carnival. Taking place at Nad Al Sheba, there are now 44 horses going under the hammer at the DIRCS, with the Robbie Osborne-trained King Jock and Doug Watson’s duo T-Bird and Arabian Prince additional entries. King Jock, with a rating of 108, has been a great servant to Irish trainer Robbie Osborne and also a real favourite in the UAE. The seven-year-old gelding has raced 20 times here, and succeeded four times, including twice at Listed level at Abu Dhabi and also at the 2005 and 2006 Carnival. Outside of the UAE, the son of Ghazi has won four other times, including the Group 3 Desmond Stakes at The Curragh in 2006. “This is the first Carnival sale, so we are feeling our way, and the quality of horses on offer will hopefully rise each year, but this looks to be a good platform to launch the sale, which should hopefully appeal to owners all over the world,” said Dubai Racing Club CEO Frank Gabriel Jr. Brazilian Group 1 winners L’Amico Steve, Evil Knievel and Nepotista are others to look out for, as are the useful sprinter Machinist, Mariol, first past the post in a sprint handicap before being demoted earlier in the Carnival, and Happy Runner, a winner on the opening night of the Carnival. There are 86 horses entered for the Emirates Racing Authority’s Horses in Training Sale on Wednesday. The Dubai Racing Club announced last month that from this year, the annual Horses In Training Sale in Dubai will be moved forward and include a DIRC Session whereby horses that have competed at the Carnival can be put up for auction. The Sale is held at Nad Al Sheba 5pm on Tuesday March 4 and at 3pm Wednesday March 5, preceding the Super Thursday meeting at Nad Al Sheba on March 6.

The good news is King Jock wasn't sold yet, but the bad news is Choctaw nation went for almost nothing...

Cameo Appearance By Efficient Story By Chris Scholtz Tuesday, 11 March 2008: While Melbourne Cup winner Efficient  makes a cameo appearance at Flemington on Saturday his younger half brother Guillotine  will attempt to build on his burgeoning reputation at Rosehill.Efficient will have his first outing since his Melbourne Cup victory in November in the Blamey Stakes at Flemington before he returns to the paddocks ahead of another spring campaign. Efficient's owner Lloyd Williams said the decision to give the four-year-old only one autumn start is part of his plan to win the Cox Plate- Melbourne Cup double in the spring with the grey. "I like to dream a bit,” Williams said. “He will have just the one run and have up to eight weeks out in the paddock as I only have one thing in mind for him in the spring." Efficient will be ridden by Steven Arnold on Saturday, an ironic reunion with the horse he could have ridden in the Melbourne Cup. Arnold preferred the Melbourne Cup mount on stablemate Gallic, a subsequent late scratching from Australia's richest race. He was left to watch Michael Rodd win the Cup on Efficient but gets back on the grey on Saturday as Rodd is still recovering from an illness. In Sydney trainer David Payne will start Guillotine's AJC Derby campaign in a low class 3YO ratings race over 1500m. Guillotine was nominated for Saturday's $1 million Golden Rose but the three-year-old does not have sufficient prizemoney to make the final field, a good result for jockey Hugh Bowman. Bowman is free to ride Guillotine and retain the mount on the Bart Cummings filly Mimi Lebrock in the Golden Rose. Payne will be represented in the Golden Rose by Vecchia Roma (Damien Oliver). Guillotine, a grey like Efficient, recorded his second win from just five starts when he blitzed older horses by six lengths over 1900m at Rosehill in December. He is set to follow Saturday's race with starts in the Randwick Guineas, Rosehill Guineas and AJC Derby.
