Ron the Greek beginning to look like Drosselmeyer. It ain't pretty, but he gets the job done.

Neck 'n Neck's figure from his allowance win was boosted to a 101, so he has run 101-102 in his last 2 starts at CD. Whether he is a CD horse for course or just a late developing 3YO will be determined soon, as I imagine Wilkes will run him in the Jim Dandy.

More importantly, with that win, Flower Alleys stud fee should jump up to like 75k.

The performances of Royal Delta and Game On Dude since returning from Dubai are interesting.

In the days of Nad Al Sheba and dirt -- our horses would go over and run their guts out and dominate. Some of the ones who ran huge would come back and fire a couple more good ones, while others wouldn't. You'd have to hear about the so-called 'Dubai bounce'

Royal Delta and Game On Dude just did the reverse -- they got clowned by international grass horses on tapeta -- and both of them came right back here and ran dramatically well.

Maybe the phrase 'Dubai bounce' will be replaced with 'Dubai Non-effort'

Yeah that foreign lady on HRTV mentioned that.

i figure that ultimately dubai will have done american racing a favor by installing that surface. perhaps it will mean a return to greatness for the big cap out west, oaklawn needs to infuse some money into their premier older horse race...i can see top dirt horses skipping the trip-what's the point? they're helpless on that surface.
now, dullahan-that horse needs to go over next year.
