Hey gang - I'm the one who runs DubaiRaceNight.com that NTamm referenced earlier. Not a whole lot of the racing boards follow to Dubai, so I'm glad to see you guys are into it.
Whether I can start with the contest here or not is up to you - but anyway... Shopton Lane (Art of War) Mojito Royale (Yamal) Wingbeat (Sarissa) Irish Mayhem (Bennie Blue) Sanbuch (Bon Spiel) Oracle West (Kirklees) Perfect Season (Akua'Ba) I'm surprised so many of you like Aamaaq - if he was going to win a race at the Carnival, I thought it was going to be last week when he was second to Glen Nevis in a race that still has me scratching my head. If you watch the replay, you'll see Glen Nevis was literally under a full drive the entire race. Maybe I'm wrong.... Good luck to all!

Welcome aboard Pat, and of course youre included in the Contest. The more the merrier. Your site is fantastic, alot of very useful stuff there. Im particularly interested in seeing what your top 3 things to do in Dubai are (Surely skiing will be one of them??).

Shopton Lane was NOT happy with the kickback, he never looked comfortable. It was funny to hear Doug Watson after the Fares victory - basically, he was shocked.
I had a whopping $2 to place on Grand Hombre just to cover myself because of the price and his recent form which was decent...per my race analysis... "His last race on dirt, a handicap at Nad al Sheba on January 1, 2009, wasn’t terrible and the winner that day, Brave Tin Soldier, came back to finish a good second in a 100+ rated handicap on January 15." Good luck.

Well, the form has been shot to bits in the first two races. Richard Hills wasn't great (as can be expected on dirt) on Tasteyville in the first. He seemed to go across the line looking a bit lame? He is definitley one to keep the right side of now that he has blown the cobwebs out.

We might as well throw the form books out. Usually you want to be up with the pace on the dirt, but so far the horses finishing off best have all come from a long way back.

The sprints are all a bit different though, where I think the gate draw is most important, anything from the middle to the outer rail is best, and I truly believe the outer is the best. Big City Man was good enough last week to run lively down the center, but Change Alley's late kick on the outer rail holds up to what I've come to expect.
