![]() This is somewhat off topic, but speaking of bad European form and Euro horses turning into stks winners rescued from the abyss, I remember(and I stress remember since I am not looking up stats from work) a horse named Dark Islander, mediocre european form but I do remember him somewhat turning it around over here. Obcourse you have others that go the other way also.

Dark Islander had shown form, whereas Egypt only ever showed he had a small amount of ability in one of his starts (when second to Arazan) and the winner apart, it wasn't a very good race. His next start was of even worse quality, which was why he was sent of a 1-3 favourite. He finished fourth and never looked like winning. Looking very one-paced in the process. If you look at the write ups of his races, almost every race will say "kept on" and "one paced". He was used as a pacesetter in some of the major races, but many because he could go from the front and set an honest gallop but once he got to that pace he didn't have any other gears. I'm not saying he won't improve in America, but he will need to because he couldn't win a poor quality maiden race in Ireland.

![]() Interesting run by Egypt yesterday, ran second in his comeback, that's okay. However while looking very much like the winner at the top of the stretch when he made the lead quite easily, he lacked the ethusiasm to outfinish his competition. This maybe a horse that lacks the mentality to win races, rather than ability.

![]() I added him to my VS when this thread started and wow Hossy I wish I had pp's cause I want to say I have never once noticed this guy get a(nother) win but I could be wrong.
If he did I sure missed it. |

![]() Yeah he broke his maiden May of 2009 and won a 25k claimer the following January. Weird seeing him winning a race at Ruidoso Downs though.

![]() Thanks for checking Hossy and sorry... must have missed that one.
OR I read it, went into shock, and immediately erased it from my mind as it was too much to comprehend. Nice that hes won a few now... |
