Desert Party won the Sanford up the rail with a nifty move on a track where the rail was not the best portion.

He clearly has blossomed in Dubai and there is reason to think he benefited from having a race on Vineyard Haven.

If VH is allowed to go clear early in the UAE Derby he might be tough to catch. If he goes to the lead and gets caught then he might have been the biggest $12 million one-dimensional purchase ever.

It will be interesting if they are smart enough to allow him to race to his strength. Usually they seem to think they know better.

If the Sheik doesn't go bust in the real estate crisis I'm sure he will spend money more foolishly in the future. It's in his pps.

I really doubt the Sheik can ever go bust.....but certainly stranger things have happened.

Who would have turned down the $12 million?
