Default I call for a purse reduction

That Golden Shaheen is awful. I know it's hard to round up many four-legged dirt sprinters outside of the U.S., but that's a G3 at Saratoga if I've ever seen one.

Anything Weichong Marwing rides in Dubai is live. He's usually on de Kock horses.

Forefathers would be up the track against these, with zero question about it.

forfathers is a very talented sprinter if zito dosent cut him back he will ruin the horse, i dont think he'd be up the track, i think he's be competitive and possibly win, this field is almost horrible in my opinion.

Agree, which is why my guy Friendly Island is over there with a big chance to win a ton of loot. He may end up the 3rd choice behind Thor's and BCH.

you're joking I take it. from the US side alone you have the first three finishers from the BC sprint plus a couple other solid types.

Who knows how good the filly is from SA is against this kind, but she is tearing up the place in SAf.

Terrific Challenge also looked real sharp in his Dubai race last month.

No, it's the weakest Golden Shaheen I can remember. Even the first three finishers from the BC Sprint are all coming into this off form.

Friendly island won his return so I don't see him as "off form." It's not as strong as some years when the SoCal invaders own the place but any given race can be weak in a given year. Anyone know who Capt Steve beat?

You're right, Friendly Island isn't off form. My mistake. But Thor's Echo's last race was weak, as were Nightmare Affair's last two.
