@Kevster21, I agree. Deep fields lining up for both the 5f Al Quoz Sprint on turf and the 6f Golden Jubilee on tapeta. Anxious to see how Ambitious Dragon fares in the Dubai Duty Free, too?

I think this field was largely filled with horses who had raced in Dubai over the winter at Meydan's winter meeting.

@JPD639, I completely agree. Like I said before, I've watched the replay of this race a # of times. Maybe it's just the camera angle? But I can't see the interference if there was any? I know Johnny Murtagh got hit with a big riding suspension for his ride on SSB in this race. I've forgotten now ...

sight, I think Goldikova would've been better off to have been retired after her 2010 season. But TJMO.

Little surprised that Suits Me didn't run a better in this race? He's been a really consistent horse in the UK racing on the synthetic surfaces at Lingfield, Wolverhampton, and Kempton. He's run excellent races during his career in the Winter Derby, Quebec Stakes, and Churchill Stakes.

@duhru4real, Those are Henry Cecil's words, not mine. Cecil said the G1 Lockinge Stakes in May is where Frankel will begin the 2012 season, and depending on how he comes out of that race, he'll either run in the Queen Anne at 8f or the Prince of Wales at 10f during the Ascot meeting. Even if Fran...

That's the best Simon De Montfort's looked since he used almost identical tactic to run down Once More Dubai and Zeitoper in his carnival debut race last year. He had 1 decent run during the 2011 season when he finished 3rd behind Prince Siegfried and Dux Scholar in the G3 Winter Hill Stakes at W...

@goodfella30, I've often wondered that myself? Dettori's not as young spring time anymore. But he still seems to ride pretty close to the top of his game, and he also seems to have a lot energy for a man his age. So I don't really know how many more years Dettori will continue to ride for Godolph...

Do It All sure suddenly came alive for the G2 Zabeel Mile. After finishing 14th in his carnival debut and 11th in the G2 Al Fahidi Fort. He wasn't any kind of factor whatsoever in either of those races? I think this race showed that Do It All seems to be a much more effective horse from the front...

I wonder after seeing him get this win if Bronze Cannon might not be a better horse for Ramsan Kadyrov to send into the DWC than Green Destiny? He's won twice now at Meydan on tapeta at 10f, and he also finished 2nd in the G3 September Stakes on the all-weather at Kempton behind Modun. Plus his ...

At 7f on the tapeta surface, Barbecue Eddie's still one of the toughest beats year in and year out during the Dubai Carnival. His trainer, Doug Watson, said post-race that he had initially thought this would likely be Eddie's final start of the carnival, because they never thought he stayed a mil...

@EmperorOfSilence, I agree!! Even though he's ran well at a mile and 10f in his career. I think he's a little more vulnerable to defeat at both distances than he is at 9 or 9-1/2f. The 9f of the Duty Free will suit him right down to the ground, IMO!!

Algorithms popped a splint, my ass!! I've lost track of how many times over the years that Todd Pletcher's done this? Show up with 1 of his top horses trying to scare away the competition. But Todd old boy, there ain't no scaring away Union Rags!! Julien Leparoux must be ecstatic, because it's no...
