But do the two Godolphins (Regal Ransom/Desert Party) and one Shadwell (Mafaaz) all enter, if it keeps a Coolmore (Dunkirk) horse on the outside looking in? Shades of Danthebluegrassman??

I doubt the Sheikhs are that vindictive. The Magnier colors appeared in Dubai for the first time this year and found the winner's enclosure twice.

So with Maafaz and the two from Dubai, only the top 17 on the earnings list would go.

Did I read somewhere that one of the Dubai colts might be held out until the Preakness?

Well, the two from Dubai are part of the top 20. Godolphin has indicated they may hold one back for the Preakness (most likely, Regal Ransom) but if they are both doing well, they might go with both of them in the Derby.
