Dubai, Fl Derby, & Magna 5
Dubai World Cup
Race 2 - Godolphin Mile #3 Dixie Meister - Canani runner is coming in off a victory in the G2 San Pasqual at Santa Anita. The 5yr old gelding has been very consistent for his new barn. #12 Spring At Last - This mile distance seems to be his best. He's been coming up a little short going further and runs out of real estate in shorter races. Won Race 3 - UAE Derby #4 Day Pass - Interesting to see how the G3 Nashua winner will bounce back from dull effort. #11 Folk - Godolphin filly is 2 for 2 since arriving at the Nad Al Sheeba track. Race 4 - Dubai Golden Shaheen #8 Friendly Island -He's in very good form and has the right running style to get it done here. 2nd Race 5 - Dubai Sheema Classic #5 Red Rocks - BC Turf winner picks up Nak as he tries to validate BC performance. Race 6 - Dubai Duty Free #3 Stormy River (FR) - Classy grey won a Group 1 last summer and should be a handful here. Race 7 - World Cup #1 Discreet Cat - Connections have always done right by this horse and there is no reason to think that he's not 100%. He's a beast and I believe that he'll get the jump on Invasor and not look back. ? #7 Invasor - Outstanding Champion looks to revenge his only loss. The Best I would love to see a Ding/Dong stretch drive where the whips are cracking and the hearts are pounding. Magna 5 Leg A - Laurel R9 #3 Power Du Jour - Best races have come on the turf and the price will be right. 2nd by 1/2 length at 22-1 ouch #4 Clever Clover - Probable favorite has 2 wins and 2 2nds in last 4 starts. #6 Hanalei Bay - Will need to step it up. #9 Little Gaby - Has won off a break and has 2 wins on the Laurel Lawn. Leg B - Gulfstream R10 - G3 Skip Away #3 A P Arrow - Simply the class of the field. Won Leg C - Santa Anita - R4 - G3 Tokyo City #2 Fairbanks - Lost all chance early in the G2 San Antonio, expect better effort. Won #5 Preachinatthebar - Defending champion is the only graded stakes winner in the field. #6 Racketeer - All 3 career wins have been on the SA surface. Leg D - Gulfstream - R11 - G1 Florida Derby #3 Scat Daddy - You won't get the value, but you must respect vs. these. Won #6 Chelokee - Matz runner needs a big performance and he's capable of it. Leg E - Santa Anita - R5 #1 Miss Silver Image - Like the speed in the inside. #11 Run for Dessert - Capable on best. #12 Unusual Spring - Likely favorite has 3 wins on the downhill course. Won Magna 5 - 3 4 6 9 with 3 with 2 5 6 with 3 6 with 1 11 12 = $144 Gulfstream Park R11 - G1 Florida Derby #1 Notional - Cal Bred has proven he can ship and win. Tough post. #2 Imawildandcrazyguy - Closer needs to be used underneath. #3 Scat Daddy - He brings it every time out. Will benefit from a speed duel. #4 Adore the Gold - Huge effort in the FOY. Will he improve or bounce? #5 Stormello - Gutsy on the front end, but seems Victor will have to cut more reasonable fractions. #6 Chelokee - Matz runner is 2 for 2 going two turns. Definitely the wild card in this field. #7 Boogie Boggs - Tries two turns and stakes company for the 1st time. Pass #8 Johannesburg Star - Will need a better start to be a factor. #9 Birdbirdistheword - Bad post, but should improve off last race for McPeek. Selections #3 Scat Daddy Won #6 Chelokee 3rd #2 Imawildandcrazyguy #4 Adore the Gold Race 12 #9 Saoire Cat - Absolutely missed the break in last and still managed to finish well. For those playing multi-race wagers. SINGLE Good Racing Luck
