So he'll lose to Goldikova, I don't see the big deal. American horses trying the Dubai Duty Free is way crazier in my opinion and we had 3 of them last year.

You didn't really read the article, did you?

I find it highly unlikely he'll lose to Goldikova.

I read too fast. Why six furlongs? That's obviously dumb.

It's dumb all around, especially with the easy money to be made here this year.

But 6f is beyond dumb.

Listen, it might be dumb, but are you considering that the owners might think it is once in a lifetime so why not take a shot? It isn't like the horse isn't paying his own way.

Foreign horses come here to run..why can't they go there and give it a shot?

Would be a nice get away if nothing else

I could think of few places I'd rather go to less than being around a bunch of stuffed shirt high hat British snobs.

Speaking of that, Bourbon Bay and Champ Pegasus, who have developed a nice little rivalry in the marathon turf division in SoCal since last fall, are targeting the 12f race in Dubai rather than continuing their private war at home in the San Luis Rey and San Juan Capistrano.

If those two end up dead-heating for 8th place behind some horses from Hong Kong and Britain I guess it will be just as exciting.

Skellytown has won a couple of $12.5k claimers on the main track at the Santa Anita meet, so I suppose by default he's the early favorite for the San Juan.
