2:00.60
 Only Dubai Millenium and Invasor have broke the 2 minute barrier there. With how easily he went I was expecting something like 2:04 or 2:05.

I think it's a fair guess, considering how small the margin of victory was, that the track was very fast.

"We wanted to save a bunch for the World Cup," Albarado said in a post-race interview. "I just wanted him to settle. He needed this race mentally as well as physically, and I think we accomplished what we wanted to today."

No he didn't. But, he faced much better competition.

Very often it's easy to read something, too much, etc., into a race like this. You go back and forth. He did what he was expected and had to do -- I would think. I have no idea what they were looking for.
About the effort, urging, etc. -- what was this his 9th or 10th lifetime start? Who knows, he might be shaking off the rust, or needs encouragement. Nice race. I enjoyed it. Eric

3rd 6 JET EXPRESS (SAF) $81.40
Quote:
as noted there was some confusion. FT was listed as 9.40 which was his win price, and JEt Express whos win price was actually "89.80" which further confuses the matter. Maybe Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid gave out a bonus , but more likely they just messed up the posted results. Amazingly i didn't have a place bet on Jet Express  so i couldn't tell you, but i would have guessed between 5 nd 15 dollars for JE. I took 20% on Curlin and had no complaints.

With him getting ready to race in the Dubai World Cup, I would have hoped that Robby wouldn't have asked him if he didn't have to carrying that much weight for that far of a distance off a significant layoff. I really didn't like the move as I thought it would have been too much for the horse to do before the DWC, but we're not talking about a typical GI horse here.
In 10 years from now, this horse will be considered one of the greatest ever to step foot on the track. Enjoy him.
