Dubai Carnival Contest

[brockguy]

might as well starting this Thursday and culminating on the richest day in horse racing on 29th March.

prizes TBA...

Ill make this as easy as possible. One selection per race and an alternate.


1 euro/dollar/pound/dirham on each selection and the person with the highest return over the period wins.

Good Luck!

EDIT: all returns settled at UK Industry Odds and only the thoroughbred races count!!

[NoChanceToDance]

Good idea.

Would love to be able to compete for all of it, but I'm not going to be able to near a computer much on a Thursday within a couple of weeks.

I will join in for the time I'm around, if that's okay. Hopefully I can manage a few weeks selections, even it it means posting them as soon as the final decs come out for the following thursday. Then I should be okay to post selections for world cup night.

[my miss storm cat]

and only the thoroughbred races count!!
Whew!

Okay I'm gonna edit in the rest.....

Opening Day...

R2 - Jet Past (alt. Many Colours)

[NoChanceToDance]

Oh... deadline time, Brock?

You can't select horses after the race :p

[my miss storm cat]

You can't select horses after the race :p
A cut off time though! We need to have one... no?

Good old King Jock... did you see there's a Queen Jock entered in the Cocoa Beach race (R3?).:D

See..... I've forgiven him for trouncing my boy.

[brockguy]

deadline before first race i suppose...

I'm guessing selections have to be in anytime before the start of the meeting, but Brock better make up the rules.

Yeah, Queen and King Jock. I will never forget that day when he beat Ace. Maybe I can find a replay somewhere :eek:

Ummm, he beat him twice... President's Cup and the National Day Cup or something like that.

Replays on the ERA site.

Personally I choose to remember Ace-ie as i saw him in person, with Kieren up, coming in 2nd when it mattered. :) :cool:

Oh yeah, I forgot you were there that day. I bet him at Belmont, but only for him to win. Never mind, he gave me a cracking run for my money.

He was a character, that little fella.

[my miss storm cat]

Crap, I just posted them here... :)

[NoChanceToDance]

Right, here goes nothing.

Race 1 (first thoroughbred race)
Selection: Olympic City, Alt: Classy-lady

Race 2
(three very interesting Godolphin horses, with Fiesta Lady having won the Argentinian Oaks on her last start, but 7furlongs might be on the sharp side, and she has to give away 5lbs+ to her rivals.)

Selection: Cocoa Beach, Alt: Olympic Glory

Race 3
Selection: Elmustanser, Alt: Consular

Race 4
Selection: Rosberg, Alt: Yasoodd

Race 5
Selection: Boston Lodge, Alt: Gloria De Campeao

Race 6
Selection: Tapor, Alt: Sea Hunter


Good luck, everyone

EDIT: Just had to edit the selections now that they will most likely run the turf races on the dirt.

[NoChanceToDance]

Turf races abandoned

[NoChanceToDance]

Now they are saying they will run the turf races on the main dirt track IF there is enough interest from trainers tomorrow.

How much is enough interest? How long is a piece of string?

betting on all the races on the card?

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

1/17

2nd) Many Colours # 1
3rd) Fiesta Lady #1
4th) Familiar Territory #4
5th) Third Set #10
6th) Jack Sullivan #16
7th) Almuraad #10

[my miss storm cat]

or not at all?
No decision yet.....

From our friends at the ERA...

The opening meeting of the Dubai International Racing Carnival at Nad Al Sheba will go ahead tomorrow and be run exclusively on the dirt.

Following the extremely wet weather, the three races scheduled to be run on the turf will not be run on that surface.
However, depending on the level of interest from the trainers who have horses entered in those races, they could be switched to the dirt track, which would mean the 1,777m race would be run over 1800m, otherwise the distances would remain the same.

Dubai Racing Club CEO Frank Gabriel Jr said: “The dirt course has been sealed the last three days, and there will be no training on it tomorrow morning, with the goal that we can offer a fast track.

“Everyone has had to struggle with this freakish weather over the last few days, so in that respect, we are delighted that we are still able to stage the feature races – both versions of the Maktoum Challenge.

“We will see what the response is to moving the three turf races to dirt, and make a decision on the final make-up of the card tomorrow morning.”

[brockguy]

a bit messy today with Dubai becoming America and putting the turf races onto dirt - it will makes for some interesting races. Betting is a minefield today and I wouldnt be taking short prices on anything..

R2 Classy Lady alt Olympic City
R3 Olympic Glory alt Cocoa Beach
R4 Naipe Marcado alt Jonquil
R5 Rosberg alt Arabian Prince
R6 Boston Lodge alt Etihaad
R7 Almuraad alt Topor

Good Luck today.

Lets hope Rosberg can do the business today. I've made him my NAP :eek:

Like your selections. Classy Lady is still about 9/2, I think that is a great bet. I also like the two Olympic horses from Brazil.

He'll be a star.

Maybe not today but he had a great win earlier at NAS.

Yeah, but he disappointed after that win. The main reason I picked him today is because he has dirt form.

Now looking at the dirt, it doesn't look sloppy at all.


On another point, in the contest I have selected to seconds so far :(

[brockguy]

Well some people managed to show profits here and financially and so well done to them.

1= Hickory Hill Hoff +1.63
1= CowgirlinTexas +1.63 (both managed to pick the 2 Godolphin winners!)

3 Merasmag -3 (just picked the dirt races!)

4=Fmc123412 -6
4=My Miss Storm Cat -6
4=NoChanceToDance -6

If there are any queries with the scores let me know. Many Colours' price was 9/4 (quite generous in the end!) and Fiesta Lady was 11/8

STANDINGS AFTER DAY 2:

It was a difficult day for us bar fmc as a lot of managed to find good priced placed horses rather than the winners. Some of us were particularly affected by the (albeit, just) DQ of Mariol in the 2nd race. Hopefully we'll do better next week.

Of course now that i realize this contest is win only, I'll still suck. :D

I'm just wondering about the percentage we need to play to stay in...

Noticing some are sitting out a week here and there and I'm debating sitting out tomorrow.

I hate to say I've never really understood the scoring here :eek: :D but are we penalized if we miss a day?

Thanks Brock, and thanks for running it. :)

I have an idea to make it double points for Super Thursday and treble points for the World Cup night to keep everyone (me mainly!!!!) still chasing the title.. if there is anyone that disagrees, ill leave it as it is, but if not, Ill make the changes..

I like Quijano in the 6th.
Me too but I need to go for bigger odds here..... some of my / our picks here aren't our real picks. :)

Good luck to you if you're playing today and happy Super Thursday!!!!!

(Can you tell I'm excited?) :D

(Can you tell I'm excited?) :D

True, he won't bring in boxcars but if he's half ready he is the class of the race. The Hong Kong race he was really unlucky to finish second to Doctor Dino, he really didn't fire in the Cdn Intl so I will excuse him from that race. Gravitas looks improved this yr from last, he will get 7lbs that might make him interesting if Quijano doesn't run his race. But I like the top pick, I always had a little time for him. He's a good quality horse.

What happened to Quijano, I'm at work and I notice he didn't win today...any recaps?

[CSC]

Watched the replay when I got home, a 29-1 longshot filly wins the race. Nice payoff there...

[The Bid]

How does Diabolical pay double digits? He laid over that bunch of garbage

[cowgirlintexas]

Is this contest over?

You mean the ones who haven't played since January like the rest of us but come in on the final day? :D

Kidding.

[cowgirlintexas]

Where ya been Scav?? This has been going on for months...Too bad you missed it.. Been a lot of fun trying to handicap the horses over in Dubai. Have to admit that I sucked at first, but once I got familiar with what was what.. Not doing so bad now. At least last week...:D

[Stickhorse]

Obviously I'm a newbie but have been following racing since I was twenty-three in the late 70's. I have really become a born again player since last year's Kentucky Derby. This Summer I opened an internet betting account and now play a race or two every weekend and hope to play even more once I retire in another 2-3 years.

Seems only fair to have a new mini contest for the BIG DAY from Dubai. I'll make my picks early Saturday.

Thanks Brock for running this contest.
