He looks to me like he is bred to run on turf. He is out of a Cozzene mare that has already produced a stakes winner on turf, and Honour and Glory (his sire) is by Relaunch and out of an Al Nasr mare.
A 7.5f, $43,000 allowance at Gulfstream seems to me like a rather odd prep for the UAE Derby.

Seems like as good a spot as any. He's a 4yo here but get to run as a 3yo in Dubai.

Did Invasor come to the US before he went to the UAE Derby? I know he didn't run here then, but was he here training before his first trip to Dubai?

I believe he did train in Fla for a little while.

I guess maybe they need to find out if he can run on dirt (?).

They have 4 nominated including Morador Llers (who won the Gran Criterium).

Word from the ERA is they'll send two.....

You might want to see how Quip ( another Shadwell private purchase ) does in today's 8th at Gulfstream as Mach Glory beat him by five lengths last March.
