Default Dubai Duty Free
This race will be the best quality race for all of 2009.

Its about time this race (and the Sheema Classic) got equal billing with the World Cup!

The Duty Free will be a terrific race. It will not break my heart to see Kip Deville beaten handily at all.

Wasn't Paco Boy the horse who completely ran off with the Prix De La Foret? Has he run since? That was a huge effort.

Kip Deville will get completely smoked.

10 G1 winners (Archipenko, Creachadoir, Hyperbaric, Jay Peg x4, Kip Devile x4, Lady Marian, Niconero x5, Paco Boy, Tuesday Joy x4, Vodka x4)

Throw in the potential monsters Prevsis, Gladitorius and the multiple G1 placed Balius and you have a field that will be tough to match this year!

Awww, don't leave out Russian Sage. He just hasn't won a G1.

YET.

Happy Boy is starting to find his form after Godolphin butchered him.

Assuming he's actually entering - I'll take him in an upset in the World Cup.

Aren't a bunch of these Group 1 horses South African which means they may not exactly be world class?

Wasn't he a late scratch last year?

Good luck to you. Respectfully, I'm not seeing it.

3 races this season... 11th, 2nd, 2nd.

I think My Indy, Muller, Asiatic Boy, possibly Muhannak (Ryan Moore got the mount) and Well Armed have more of a shot but I'm wrong most of the time, so...

(These aren't picks... just who I'm finding interesting).
