... and as Black Caviar is likely to equal that number in three runs in Melbourne over the next six weeks, one more run in Sydney this campaign would be considered before she goes to England for the Royal Ascot in June.

Rulership...

first race at MayDOG 9 10 all 10 9 all Spirt of battle and Kryrton Factor

This next race is raced for 120k. I think it is the equivalent of a 10 claimer at Aqueduct today. BBQ Eddie and the Butcher Boratstan in the same race can you make this up. I will bet pig As De Trebol.

MMSC you think they find all good safe homes for these 11 year old gelding that retire in Dubai?

As De Trebol was my pick as well. I'm betting and not watching, too much to do.

I have no idea what they do with them in Dubai. Maybe someone who actually goes there could answer.

The only old men I try to keep track of in my many lists in my head are the elderly gentlemen of Hong Kong some of which have become horsies for cops, for school programs, etc. A lot get to go home to Aus and NZ. I think they're the lucky ones.

There is the occassional one with the nutty owner like poor Good Ba Ba who was Horse of the Year for God sake but that creep sent him from trainer to trainer cause he was in la la land about him losing form.

Now he's in Macau and racing people in other places are pretty distressed and tryhing to get it so he can NOT race any more.

So yeah... I don't know, I don't really follow Dubai much.
