Lost the head bob for 3rd at Meydan. Great run against top flight competition though!

That nose was worth $17,500.

Wow- with how he was boxed in, I never thought Old Persian would make it in The City of Gold.

Good job by Appleby getting him ready off a 6 month layoff.

Delighted with the effort . Would love to see the official photo but I know it must have been inches. Will put more flair strips on his nose next time. His rating went from 95 to 100 so we are hopeful that he now gets in the $2 million Al Quoz Sprint on Dubai World Cup Saturday. He is a real fan favorite over here and we got a great reception from the crowd.  |

No heartbreak at all! This horse has so exceeded our expectations, we are very proud of him. Going to the barn in the morning to love on him and tell him what a good boy he is!

Oh Shoes, no offense taken! We have just been doing this long enough to have "measured expectations". 😂 He's a horse that we basically bought out of the parking lot for peanuts and was what we would consider a mid level claiming horse. He has given us a once in a lifetime experience over here, and we couldn't be more pleased (or lucky!).
Now hoping that his new 100 handicap will get us into the Al Quoz 🤞

Riflescope was looking good at the “barn” today after Saturday’s exertions.  |
