Why is there no talk of this horse in the press?

10 in a row and does it impressively.

Am I missing something. His three efforts in Dubai have been really nice.

Isn't he getting press in Europe? As far as the US press goes, he probably is not going to get much press for the moment anyway. Its a German horse racing in Germany and Dubai. not the kind of story that is going to get much play over here, at least for now.
Also, how strong are the races he has raced in?

The races have been strong enough. I can't see anything on him in the European press

But I noticed the only race that was marked as graded was the last Dubai race which was a grade 3. Has he really beaten anybody really strong?

I'm not saying that he isn't good, he has looked sharp to me. I just think the lack of press is because these are more or less average stakes races? Maybe.
I always respect any horse that wins every time, no matter what they have been racing against.

Oracle West, Laverock, Imperial Stride, and Best Alibi are all pretty useful horses that he beat last out.

I keep thinking he will get beaten, and he just ambles to the front and holds everyone off.

he certainly on quite a run at the mo..He had the fitness against most of his rivals the last day.. he'll have the toughest test of his life on World Cup Day, but he's handled the step up each time and he's got the style of running that does very well in dubai!

Yeah, there hasn't been much on him at all but he's quite the monster.

... and as an aside, these have been pretty large fields in Dubai. We're not talking about beating six or seven.....
