Default Animal Kingdom confirmed out of DWC
Appears Animal Kingdom will not go to Dubai. About to go on air. More as it comes available.

As long as it is not a serious issue, that is great news.

Sorry to report that AK will not be making the trip to Dubai. He came out of his work sore in the same leg that he injured in the Belmont.

Sounds like you don't want to post anymore.

His Belmont injury was anything but routine, if it's the source of his current issue, then he could very well be done.

I was thinking about the possible field for the DWC...

Is it me?

Isn't it lacking this year?

Not to sound like Alan or anything but ummm there are a couple of good ones pointed but the rest seem interchangeable.

I don't like any American horses in that race, Pat.

It's a long ship and the surface doesn't favor dirt horses.

Still a way out, but Game On Dude does seem to have a huge pace edge for now, especially considering the way the race has been run in recent years...we'll see.

Gee for someone who is usually so smart...

Of course i meant me. Duh. Now that you mention it though it does seem to be lacking.

If GOD goes (and i really couldn't care less cause he'll be off the board but if he does) do we have to start calling him Allah?

Huh?

There hasn't been a decent renewal since Pleasantly Perfect beat Medaglia D'Oro in 2004.

This year has So You Think and Royal Delta aside from the aforementioned Grade Two Dude.
