I walked the turf course today. It’s very lush - like the rough at a US Open. Spoke to Oisin Murphy today - nice guy. Weather is going to be sunny and warm. No rain in forecast.

TV coverage of this fixture is usually stellar, maybe we'll get a glimpse of cherokeescot/salestopper during the broadcast. Trying a modified emirati-style breakfast with pancakes/pita bread, date rolls, chickpeas, and eggs with tomato and spices. MEY R2 (8:05am ET)- 1m (dirt) Godolphin Mile (GII) $1,000,000 Very difficult to repeat in these events, but #2- Bathrat Leon (3-1) will take some catching, especially if he has things his own way up front. Had the rail last year, now breaks from PP8, and has sprinter #8- Isolate (9-2) and C&D winner #13- Royal Mews (11-1) to his inside, and either or both of them could be sent from the gate. #5- Egot (12-1) is interesting for Godolphin, from the yard of Andre Fabre. Bred well enough for dirt, he hasn't missed the frame in three AW tries, gets Barzalona aboard which will help significantly. Finished second in French AW prep earlier this month, running from the lead and getting caught late. Draw didn't help him in PP10 but can't rule him out on his best. Treading lightly to start the day. EX- 2,5/2,4,5,11,13,14 MEY R3 (8:40am ET)- 2m (turf) Dubai Gold Cup (GII) $1,000,000 #7- Quickthorn (12-1) won two GII races last season including the Lonsdale Cup by 14 lengths gate-to-wire over Coltrane. On this ground I'll assume similar tactics from Oisin Murphy. #9- Siskany (9-2) won the local GIII prep for this with an impressive turn of foot going 14F, assuming from that effort he'll see out the trip. EX- 7,9/3,7,9,11,13 MEY R4 (9:15am ET)- 6f (turf) Al Quoz Sprint (GI) $1,500,000 High # draws are preferred over the straight course. #1- Al Suhail (9-2) therefore got the short end in PP2, but if he has enough pace near him to tow him into the race, he can finish like a train. #11- Sight Success (5-1) arrives from Hong Kong in career form, running very close to Wellington five times in the past year, and that one might be odds-on in here. Drew well in PP13, gets the services of Ryan Moore aboard. WIN- 11 EX- 1,11/1,5,7,11,16 MEY R5 (9:50am ET)- 1m1½f (dirt) UAE Derby (GII) $1,000,000 #3- Cairo (7-2) goes first time dirt for Aidan O'Brien, sire is Quality Road, won his mile AW prep in a Listed race at Dundalk three weeks ago. Drew PP5, should be prominently ridden again by Ryan Moore. I keep coming back to #10- Mr Raj (20-1) and his strong finish behind Go Soldier Go in the Al Bastikiya (Listed) over C&D three weeks ago. Progressive colt needs to improve again for this but his price should be right. WIN- 10 EX- 3,10/1,3,5,7,10,11 MEY R6 (10:25am ET)- 6f (dirt) Dubai Golden Shaheen (GI) $2,000,000 Lemon Pop is the favorite in the international markets, but I just can't see him in here, not at 6F anyways. #13- Switzerland (5-1) took this race at 20-1 last year, 9yo won his prep in a GIII over C&D in January, drew cozily in PP2. Would like to see Seemar/O'Shea in the winners enclosure again. WIN- 13 MEY R7 (11:10am ET)- 1m1f (turf) Dubai Turf (GI) $5,000,000 www.racingpost.com/racecards/1231/meydan/2023-03-25/836213MEY R8 (12:00pm ET)- 1m4f (turf) Dubai Sheema Classic (GI) $6,000,000 www.racingpost.com/racecards/1231/meydan/2023-03-25/836214MEY R9 (12:35 am ET)- 1m2f (dirt) Dubai World Cup (GI) $10,000,000 #1- Algiers (3-1) has been a revelation in his two dirt races over the track, but PP13 and tougher competition may seal his fate. #5- Crown Pride (15-1) looks stretched at 10F, also drew poorly in PP12, but he always runs his race and won the UAE Derby here. #13- T O Keynes (12-1) is a GI-winner, consistent sort (21/10-3-2), likes the distance and can turn the tables on #14- Ushba Tesoro (10-1) under a prominent ride by Oisin Murphy. WIN- 13 EX- 13/1,5,11,14 TW |

Who would have thought that the best prep race recently for the Golden Shaheen would be the Pelican Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs (Zenden in 2021, Sibelius 2023.) Too bad Junior Alvarado couldn't come over to ride, but Ryan Moore just lashed himself to the rail and kept coming.

Too bad Junior Alvarado couldn't come over to ride, but Ryan Moore just lashed himself to the rail and kept coming. TW Thought he would need the lead and probably get it . Didn't think he had a shot once he didn't , but he's lightly raced and seems to be flourishing now. Nice win for TB. |
