World Cup card not really in my wheelhouse, but with the Carnival coverage ATR has offered these last few winters with Pat Cummings and Dick Powell, it's been fun to take shots on the big morning. Will play some rolling P3's, exacta boxes and/or tri keys (.50 available) for action ahead of the big day.

Thanks! Not sure it was your intention, but your post convinced me to open up my wagering tomorrow with Dubai after all. I'll second your e-motion on Red Jazz in the Mile and Beaten Up in the Sheema Classic.

Right with you Steve on Zazou. Bet him back and forth to the board in Hong Kong at 50-1 and when he took the lead in the lane thought I was going to cash. Cheap thrill as he could only hang on for 3rd but I got to give him another shot.

Ive always liked this Joshua Tree. Im not sure he can beat Opinion Pool, but Im going to try. Fox Hunt may be a touch outside his premium trip at 2 miles

African Story looked good

PETA should have a field day with the Gold Cup. Two horses pulled up during the re-run, one of the two euthanized.

I'm not so sure running the race again was a good idea.
