Thrilling night watching Euro Charline's electrifying stretch drive in the Dubai Turf Classic from the paddock. Although she could not get to Real Steel in time, The partners are quite pleased with the $1.2 million she earns for finishing second. Hard to find that kind of prize money outside of Dubai and the BC.
Also kudos to the gate handlers for getting her in there. As you may recall, she was scratched for refusing the gate at Royal Ascot last summer. Before tonight's race, there was a long fireworks show and we were not sure she was going to have her head right. But Frankie Dettori rode a brilliant race. Great job by Marco Botti training her up to this event.
Cheers.
Otis
