What a dominating performance by Blue Trail in the opener. Alas, like many others, I had picked him for a slightly lower position and had placed Falling Shadow on top.
Since I didn't perform a stable swap for today, I expect to plummet down the standings. Just could not use my final swap this early in the contest. Seeing my entry on the first page of the leaderboard was fun while it lasted, but now reality sets in. I noticed that Hot Scot Stable made some swaps for today - hope you stay near the top of the heap.

I have no idea how I got ahead of Joly B as I struck out today 🤷♂️ Modern News finished 2nd, which should have got you some points. TW |

I made my picks today based on my horses having two more runs … on Super Saturday and DWC day. If I remember correctly from the last couple of years the Saudi Cup can throw a spanner in the works so wanted to get my points in early

Unfortunately, with only 1 swap remaining I had to stand pat again for tomorrow and hope my picks next week will perform well in the final two cards. At least With the Moonlight is active from three weeks ago and looks live in the Group 2 race.

Thanks for posting that info Tom. I haven't had nearly enough success in the bonus races so far. Maybe this time will be better. The scratch of Rebel's Romance makes the Dubai City of Gold much more wide open and more of a guessing game at the same time.
I'm down to my final swap, hoping to move forward after having dropped down the standings due to three weeks on the sidelines. My only chance is to make good picks on Saturday and hope that at least some of them will run back on the World Cup card and perform well. Am wrestling with the issue of whether to include some runners who are not on the card on Saturday with the hope they will earn big points on the 24th. They have said that Rebel's Romance, who was scratched from Race 2 this Saturday is still pointed toward the Dubai Sheema, but will the inflammation have cleared up by then? With the Moonlight has earned me lots of points in this contest, but could her next race be in the Jenny Wiley at Keeneland in April? Could Nation's Pride be a useful runner to have for the Dubai Turf? Right now I have more questions than answers before making a final swap.
Good luck to all of the UIC players as this contest moves toward its conclusion.

last swap made, left out Passion and Glory and Trawlerman. Too far back to make and noise even with a good day. 5th place is on 7980. Made my last swap, Lemon Pop and Egot didn't make the cut. I'd be happy with a top-100 finish this year, but not sure how many points Godolphin horses are going to earn in these big fields. Good luck to all UIC players on the final day. Also, please note that there IS a bonus race and points available on Saturday, so don't forget to take a swing at those, even if you are done with swaps. TW |
