Big day from the Dubai group finally.
Credit to their runners. They hold a tough hand, and all we missed was Dettori jumping off their winners.

As for the Sheiks donating a small sum after big wins last year, that $$ hardly resembles the bribe $$ passed on to Al Qaeda and other Muslim extremists bent on destructuction and murder of anyone/anything American. These shieks are as dirty as it gets, and Prince Ahmed Salman was probably the worst.

These guys are playing both sides of the fence, and in the horse(or political) biz, there are always plenty of palms out-stretched to grab the $$$ regardless of from whom it comes.

Nothing against the horses, but I hope these Arabs get skunked for the rest of the year,especially BC day.

As for Johnny V--I don't know him.
He surely doesn't appear to be the same smart rider he was two years ago, even while being Pletcher's top call. Maybe the NY vets are watching Mr.T a little closer this year!
