My contacts have indicated that Wind Flow is going well and a new horse, and could win this in back to back years. Also heard that Mensajera De La Luz is in fine fettle.

Still, Olivier Peslier had a brutal trip in this race a year ago and if he loses the same way he did last year, hooking an outsider in a ridiculous speed duel, Shibl Noofa (aka Amor De Pobre) is the best horse in the race.

I was surprised to see Eastern Aria here.

Do you know what ever happened to Joe Louis? I can't remember the name they used for him in Saudi Arabia....

He was a nice horse.

... or at 2, for that matter.

Aziz owns 10 horses in the same race?

The Michael Gill of the desert

Is this race sponsored by Hezbollah, Hamas or Al Qaeda?

A Wigberto Ramos sighting???

He's been riding there for years.

He is still running and has made several starts this year, races as Kharimes. Eastern Aria is an interesting one, had been in Australia for a possible Cup run that never materialized.

No...

King Abdullah owns 3, Prince Faisal owns 4, Prince Yazeed owns 1, Prince Abdulaziz owns 1, and yet another owns 1.

If the winner comes from someone other than Prince Sultan (blue with white epaluets), King Abdullah (white with green stripe on sleeve - Fly Down), or Prince Faisal (red with white epaulets)...it'll be a big upset.

Thanks for that and okay, glad to know he's still around.

I remember seeing her at Flemington.

Can't remember the race only that No Wine No Song was in it (and possibly Faint Perfume) and no one did well. No one that I liked anyway.

Which one of them has the fastest camels?

I was gonna save this and give it to you for your birthday but since I don't know when that is here... you can open your present now.
