3/28 (NAD): Dubai World Cup

He has done enough.
Keep him off the synth.

Not only did the horse win on the dirt in a 6M race,
he crushed the field.

Late to the party but good for Well Armed and Gryder... wasn't expecting that.

Goodbye, Nad al Sheba... it's been fun.

I was happy- I like Well Armed and it's nice to have a horse you can follow for more than a year or so. Especially one who's won on dirt, turf and synthetics. Big thanks to the person who posted the race on Youtube- the OTB channel in NYC promptly at 11AM here turned from Dubai to recaps of yesterday's races at Aqueduct (sigh).

I had wondered why he vanished after the UAE Derby- didn't know he was injured so badly for so long.
