Which would only be further proof of the unimportance of earnings records.

its something... Cigar held the record for like 11 or 12 years. It makes winning the Dubai World Cup a premier race to win when it comes to career earnings and a hell of a notch on the belt.

Default main sequence Sheema Classic
Looking at the pp's of Main Sequence, Lasik was added in his US races. Will its witdrawl lessen his performance ? has Motion addressed it ?

Motion has said he's not concerned about Main Sequence coming off Lasix for the race.

Any word from Motion on MAIN SEQUENCE ? I think he was off poorly and then more up w/ the pace instead of that explosive late kick.if my memory serves.

Dubai is a cesspool trying to buy respect and legitimacy. I hate that any u.s. horses go there.
