Post Dubai Festival
Let everyone know your thoughts on your horses chances for Dubai.

R1 - UAE Derby - Point Blank - too short but should get some place money
R2 - Dubai Sheema Classic - Plotline - better than disappointing first run
R3 - Dubai Golden Shaheen - Violent Action - Scratched found an easier race at Leicester
R4- Dubai Duty Free - Cabaret - will be right there. 10f was too far last start
R5 -World Cup - Pirate of Caribbean - Hoping too improve on my 2nd lat year. Probably too much pace to feature
R6 -Al Quoz Sprint - Argosy - Optmistic Entry
R7 - Godolphin Mile - Astral Travel - Hoping too place as will run on too late in most likelihood
Dubai Gold Cup - Parliment - my best chance of winner. Found 2m2 too far last time out

Best chances are in bold

R1 Bahariya - Distance maybe too short & don't know about ground hoping for good run
R2 Farhaan - maybe needs further but will take his chance
R3 Enough Said - Will like the distance & the dirt super chance with low draw
R4 - No Runner
R5 Baraweez - Hoping for better ride than he had in maiden, will go close
R6 Waalah - Down in trip hoping for good show
R7 Lahan - Great chance banker for me
R8 - No Runner unless Aljaaziah is added

R1 Amber Girl - Late addition to the stable, looking for some place money only.
R2 Silver Dart - Good debut on ground softer than ideal, hoping this one can be in the shake up.
R3 Blind Doom - Outsider hoping for a miracle.
R4 Friendly Dart - Trip likely to be too short, here's hoping for a muddling pace. :wink:
R5 Black Case - May not be good enough but can't resist having a crack at the prize.
R6 Sweet William - Looking for an improved run but not expecting it.
R8 Deadly Pole - Best chance for the stable, extra furlong and ground should suit.

Race 1- Ghostzapper- dislikes the course just going for a day out.
Race 3- Stop Day- should run well.
Race 5- Queenledo- only in because I was given a extra slot, she took me 3 hours last Friday, the only horse ever bred from Ghostzapper. Can a horse that took so little time win a big one :shock:
Race 6- Carry on Katie- should run well.
Race 8- Drum Taps- trying to retain the trophy, mission impossible.

Meydan is a huge day in the flat trainers championship
it will go along way to pointing to the champion trainer this season
I have 4 older horses bred for meydan horses that excel there so
hopeful of some decent prize money i have marked the chances of
my horses out of 10 its very competitive

1 Al Naboodah UAE Derby Fandangled Ii Meydan
3rd Made a decent start to career tried to make all and just faded out of it late on
Trip will suit her well my best 1m1 horse if she gets a handy lead again she could see it out 7/10

2 Dubai Sheema Classic Master Artist Meydan
Winner on debut not sure how strong a maiden it was i suspect it was above adverage
Jamies horse was hampered would have got closer and maybe won Silver Dart is also a danger 6/10

3 Gulf News Dubai Golden Shaheen The Greek Gods
Decent start 3rd on debut and was short of room at wrong time i dont think my sprinters are in the lge of others
so will be happy with another place 5/10

4 Dubai Duty Free Rooney Meydan
Rooney was incredibly unlucky on debut got trapped behind a slowing horse and was taken out the back and could not get out
expect much better this week would be happy with prize money Lethargy looks the 1 to beat 7/10

5 Emirates Dubai World Cup Mc Cormack
5th on debut led from start and faded at the end bred for this race and i need at least a place from him Zero Games
looks a tough nut to crack in this rated 110 6/10

6 Emirates NBD Al Quoz Sprint Rough Number
Winner on debut which was surprising beating some of the big guns not sure he can do that again
but always hopeful 8/10

8 Al Tayer Motors Dubai Gold Cup Flemmington Fever
Another who made a decent start finishing 3rd on debut left with too much to do on the day
will be happy with a place 6/10
