I will be in Dubai Thursday (unless Emirates decide to delay my flight any longer) but won't be able to go racing
 I will be using my tactic of backing the South American trained horses blind. It's paid fortunes doing it the last couple of years. A nice card to open the carnival with anyway

Racing Post...
Duty Free winner Jay Peg runs on Thursday By Jason Ford2.30PM 19 JAN 2009 DUBAI Duty Free winner Jay Peg adds a real touch of class to Thursday's meeting at the Dubai Carnival, which is likely to feature a nine-race card after a massive entry and the addition of two extra turf races. The designated highlight is the Group 3 Al Shindagha Sprint, but the $200,000 contest may have to share top billing with the 71/2f turf handicap in which Jay Peg is set to reappear for Herman Brown. The trainer is looking for a hat-trick in the $175,000 event after scoring with Great Rhythm and Linngari. Jay Peg, who hasn't run since taking the Group 1 Singapore Airlines International Cup in May, will have to concede weight all round and Brown expects him to improve for the outing. "He is certainly not 100 per cent fit but that is part of the reason for running him to continue his preparation," said Brown. "As we saw last year he is a horse who tends to need a run or two and he has been off since his win in Singapore back in May. Obviously he is a year older and we expect him to come on a lot for the outing but he worked well at the weekend and I like running horses fresh over short of their best. I would be hopeful rather than confident." The Al Shindagha Sprint over 6f on dirt will feature a clash between recent Nad Al Sheba winners Big City Man and Force Freeze. The latter's trainer Doug Watson will also saddle Barbecue Eddie, fourth in last year's Golden Shaheen, one place behind the Rashed Bouresly-trained Star Crowned, who reopposes. The former Richard Hannon-trained Asset could make his dirt debut for Saeed Bin Suroor, while Mike De Kock, who won the race last year with Asiatic Boy, has entered Diana's Choice. Dandy Nicholls has two possibles in Strike Up The Band and Northern Fling. Balthazaar's Gift, who has joined Rod Simpson from Luca Cumani, heads the weights for the 61/2f turf handicap, in which the Joanna Morgan-trained Miss Gorica will bid for a quick follow-up after last week's victory. With 43 entered and a maximum field of only 12, this race looks set to divide.

It's a New Year's Resolution of mine to attempt to try and stay on top of Flat racing this time around, not easy given that jumping takes up most of my time as it is, but put the hours in and thee shall be rewarded. Starting with Dubai, racing I usually can't abide, but it seems to me that ex-Godolphin horses are the way to go; it's miraculous (or not) how they improve for leaving Dusty Bin and, equally so, how they don't for joining him (a la Sugar Ray; Stoute to Bin Suroor, NOT a good trainer change!). Also back anything that Filthy Luca runs, even if they go off at stupid odds, I don't know if he's only running Presvis, but he won't send a horse over there just for the fun of it.

The Queens Ride
Queen to have first runner at Nad Al Sheba
By Jason Ford12.23PM 27 JAN 2009 THE Queen will have her first UAE runner on Thursday, when the Andrew Balding-trained Banknote lines up in the 1m turf handicap which concludes a seven-race card at Nad Al Sheba The seven-year-old entire son of Zafonic, a Group 3 winner in Germany in 2007, won at Lingfield just before Christmas when beating Philario. Franny Norton, in the saddle then, retains the partnership and the horse looked in great shape when working on the Nad Al Sheba turf course on Saturday morning. He is set to face the maximum 15 rivals, including theAlan Jarvis-trained Wise Dennis, who was a dual carnival winner last year. He also worked on Saturday under regular local partner Ted Durcan. Kevin Manning will partner the Jim Bolger-trained Akua'Ba in the same race, in which Saeed Bin Suroor saddles River Tiber

Poor River Tiber didn't even get a mention???
Hey, he does win one race per year. I like him, even if he's not exactly stellar.

Sorry for deciding to change Mr. Durcan's name. As an aside incase you're not following the HK scene, there's a new kid... Chadwick. He's amazing. Put him on the list for international jockey of the year, 2012 or so.

The Gr3 tomorrow is a great race, but very competitive. You can make a case for almost every horse in the field. I'm struggling to pick two out for the competition.
