There would have been some glum faces in Dubai as they tried to come to terms with the abysmal debut of the well-backed Al Naahadth, who cost a staggering $3m as a yearling. By Storm Cat out of a Breeders' Cup Distaff winner, his looks matched his pedigree, but he was quickly under pressure and showed no promise whatsoever.
His pedigree is beautiful (storm cat - Ajina). I don't suppose anyone saw him go through the sale a couple of years ago?? He must have been some looker.
Maybe greeness, but it was a weak maiden and the Godolphin second string finished miles in front of him. We shall see what happens next time before making too much out of this.

Wasn't Finsceal Beo kinda far back in this race that Miss Beatrix won so brilliantly?

My point is that to tell me a horse was beaten doesn't say much.
"Showed no promise"? That's one persons opinion based on one day, one race.
I think the only thing this shows me is that you really do believe everything you read.
