Haha...

Thank God. I told Gallant that this would NOT be it for Kandidate and if I'm remembering this right, he likes it over there.

WE should go in 2009.

Yeah, Kandi did seem to enjoy himself over there last year. He loves being able to dominate the fields and go gate to wire. A lot depends on the races he runs in. If they can find a race where he is the only pace horse, he could well win a few more.

How could i forget it.

He broke the track record by nearly a second. That was some performance.

Any recent news on Parole Board? I know he is an underachiever, but i still like him.

From RP today.....

Moore Dubai team boosted by Lizard Island

by Edward Prosser

AIDAN O'BRIEN'S Railway Stakes winner Lizard Island has been sold privately to join Stan Moore and will spearhead his nine-strong assault on next year's Dubai Carnival.

The Danehill Dancer juvenile, who won the Curragh Group 2 by three-quarters of a length from South Dakota, went on to chase home Rio De La Plata in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.

“He's been bought by Fitri Hay and arrived with us two days ago. He is a good addition to the team. He'll probably head to Dubai in early January and we've got a team of nine who will be targeted at the carnival,” saidMoore. Also heading to Dubai is another ex-Ballydoyle inmate in Yellowstone, who was bought for 520,000gns at the recent Newmarket Horses In Training Sale, plus Snoqualmie Boy, who cost 75,000gns at the same event, Azarole, Dubai Builder, Final Verse, Impeller, Nepotista and Traffic Guard.

“All except Impeller are rated 100 or more so we've got a very strong team,” added Moore. “Yellowstone will probably just run on Super Thursday and then go for the Sheema Classic.”

News of the well-travelled Doctor Dino

From RP.

Sheema Classic likely target for globetrotting Doctor Dino



by Nicholas Godfrey
.

DOCTOR DINO, who topped a lucrative international campaign with victory in the Hong Kong Vase, is set to be aimed at the Dubai Sheema Classic on World Cup night ahead of another globetrotting season.

Although he had never won above Group 3 level before 2007, this year the five-year-old has never been out of the first three in six Group 1s on three separate continents.

As well as winning in Hong Kong, Doctor Dino captured the Man o'War Stakes at Belmont Park in September, and also finished third in the Prix Ganay, Champion Stakes, Singapore International Airlines Cup and Arlington Million, despite meeting ground softer than ideal in each of them.

His trainer, the Chantilly-based Englishman Richard Gibson, is now considering targets for 2008, starting with Dubai.

“We said straight away that there were no fixed plans but he will stay in training and, as he loves fast ground, we'll be looking very closely at Dubai,” he said.

“As long as he's in good nick, the Sheema Classic is the race to go for - it's a $3m pot for the winner, so it's a likely option, but he certainly won't have a prep.” After Dubai, Doctor Dino is unlikely to be seen for a few months before another autumn campaign geared towards the top international races.

“I should think he'll have a long break after Dubai,” said Gibson. “We won't see him again until the summer, and we'd hope to have him 100 per cent again for the autumn - that's where the big pots are. But I would be surprised if he has more than six starts.”

Doctor Dino is currently “on holiday” back home at Chantilly. “He is just jogging, getting some r'n'r,” said his trainer.

“It's minus six in Chantilly - I feel sorry for him being there - but even so, he's still full of beans.

“He is so consistent, and so receptive to training,” he added. “We knew on the better ground in Hong Kong that it would take a very good horse to beat him. He is obviously the best I have trained.”

From RP....

Coeur De Lionne targets Dubai Carnival


by David Milnes

ED DUNLOP is planning to campaign his new recruit Coeur De Lionne at next month's Dubai carnival.

The three-year old joined the Newmarket trainer after being purchased by Stephen Lamprell for 350,000gns at the Tattersalls Horses-in-Training sale in November.

A three-time winner for Roger Charlton in the summer, Coeur De Lionne has not been out since beating Pivotal Answer by a short head in a handicap at Kempton in September.

His new owner, who is Dubai-based, was in the news recently when selling his Prix de l'Opera winner Satwa Queen to Sheikh Mohammed for 3.4 million gns at the December Sales .

Dunlop said: "Both Coeur De Lionne and King Charles are set to run at the carnival in Dubai next month. Coeur De Lionne looks a fun horse to have around, and we are planning to start him off in a handicap at Nad Al Sheba on January 24.

"Hopefully, he will then have a couple more starts out there over ten or 12 furlongs, and then return here to be prepared for Royal Ascot."


>>Royal Oath, emphatic winner of the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot in June, has had his proposed US career put on hold to head a select team from the John Gosden stable at next month's International Racing Carnival in Dubai.

The four-year old, who trounced Flipando in winning the Royal meeting, had been set for a switch to California in the autumn to take advantage of better prize money opportunities.

Connections are likely to find similiar pickings at the eleven week Carnival which starts on January 17 and culminates in the 13th running of the $6M Dubai World Cup on March 29th.

Royal Oath,who will be accompanied by stablemates Escape Route and Racer Forever in Dubai,has won on both grass and the all-weather and was last sighted when finishing fourth to Echo of Light in the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at York in September.
