Mubtaahij - Is he a real Derby threat?

[Smarty Cide]

Is this horse the real deal? Or is he just racing sub par competition in Dubai?

Whats the scoop on this horse?

I'm sure someone much more qualified (like Pat) can answer your question but here are his last few races...

As Marcus Hersh wrote this weekend, "I don't know." His win on Saturday was his best, easily beating the previously undefeated Sir Fever, the most expensive private purchase in Uruguayan history (more than Invasor), and he is some six months younger too. But Sir Fever was fresh, and untested outside Uruguay. That said, it was still a good win.

Here is what we know - if he runs first or a good second in the UAE Derby and remains healthy, I think we would see him in Louisville based on my discussions with connections.

You had to quote Marcus just to say you don't know?

Really impressive looking colt. I hope we see him over here soon.
