Yeah Sherman didnt like that move either. Somewhat of a head scratchier. Bring him back home and give him a little break... Ran a really good race yesterday considering his trip...

He was uncovered throughout, but haven't we been told he likes being kept outside of horses in the clear, and not taking dirt in his face, like the PA. Derby?

Which one is it?

Exactly. If that is his preferred trip as they say, then he's gonna have to be a super horse to win when he goes up against real competition. That wide and clear trip will get him absolutely annihilated at Royal Ascot.

Maybe he can run in a wheelchair race.

I'm all for being sporting and thought they made the right choice going to Dubai, but going to Ascot is dumb.

He has no real shot in any race they are pointing him to.

yeah i hate that move... D-scusting

He loves the attention and hospitality. Its his horse and he can do as he please. We sometimes complain that owners refuse to ship their horses and also complain if they ship them too much.

Yeah, going to race in a country where the penalty for homosexuality is death, stoning people to death still occurs, and almost all construction in the UAE is done by slave labor is the right choice because 10 million dollar race. Going to Ascot for a race is dumb. Personally I think, that running in a country where homosexuality is not a death sentence where you have no chance is a much wiser choice and decision, but maybe that's just me.

(sorry, I limit my posts here to almost nothing because I upset people and am not liked, but I couldn't resist this one!) In summary, I admire this Ascot decision by the dumb asses and despised their Dubai decision.

I'm looking at it from a racing standpoint. Not political.

10 million on dirt where you're the favorite or MUCH less on turf where you have no shot.

Seems like an easy choice to me.

Did you do your silent protest by not betting or watching the race?

I'm sure the political situations in each respective place were heavily considered by Coburn and Martin. They seem like the types that are really plugged into that stuff.
