Default Curlin,Pancho,and the US horses start the flight home

Dubai World Cup Champion Curlin, his sidekick Pancho, and all the US horses have just left Dubai. All loaded well from the Quarantine, and onto the plane. Takeoff was on time, and should land at JFK arround 5:00pm. Belmont for 48hr Quarantine, then on to Keenland. All the Calf. horses will stay on the plane and fly on to LAX after the JFK stop.
Everyone sad to go, and the Dubai party to end. It was great to see some old friends, and make some new ones. Thank you everyone, It's been great to see the worlds best everyday.

Want to thank Jim for the terrific 'on hand' news and notes from Dubai... Was great to be kept up to date up to the minute...

(We will also have some exclusive Dave Harmon Dubai photographs for everyone this week...)

When does "Gotodubai" put the shipping wraps on and come home?

I know that Dave H transferred all his Cup night shots onto disc before going to sleep on Sat night/Sun morning. That early flight must have been murder for him and the CZAR!

Your return plans have not been leaked. But, please hurray as I can't hold it for much longer. "They" will try all tactics to retrieve this information and afterall I am weak. The redneck secret service has been alerted.

After a long wait, as mentioned above, Derby Trail will soon be pleased to bring you access to Dave Harmon's award-winning racing photography... As soon as we can get it set up on the website, we will showcase Dave's great work from all the top venues and events in racing...

Here's a shot of Curlin from earlier last week as he prepared for the DWC...

Jim, Good job with your color and insight during the Carnival and DWC. You complemented Ms. Wood's already good work on OTBTV.
Also, I had the chance to read Michele MacDonald's daily blog. Good work and very enjoyable. I hope she posts next year as well.
