DUBAI WORLD CUP

One Of the biggest Races in the World and nobody gives a ****.

It's not got the prestige of a two bob British race.

That breeders cup nonsense is the same acey

quite like it tbh ,big fields ,big prices and all trying for that kind of dough !

Is the Winners Prize for the World Cup Race 6 million Quid or am I reading it Wrong ,Is there special Criteria to be able to Enter ?

For 6 million quid you would think there would be better horses that would enter .

I bet one of them a few Year back was beat in a 2k race at Wolves

Someone please try and inspire me on this "petrol currency" meeting. Apart from a select few from the UK and Ireland the rest of the runners are total unknowns to me.

I'm only looking for a couple of bankers to take to Aintree and Epsom Derby. It's another long 4 weeks to a Classic Flat trial.

thats just one race fook knows what the total prize money for the whole card ............could prob wipe out the debt of a 3rd world country

Dreadful viewing…..loads of undesirable type in the land of promise……

Countless hypocrites and grovels…

Dates and lemons with a bit of rocket salad no one would ever know where the fk it was…

Curtain bearers clapping at the winning line ffs…..midsummer murders will do me…..

What are you on about ace?

when you think about it, that isnt that much, given that companies pay 600-700K for an advert during half time at the superbowl for what a 30 second advert. many top footballers earn more then that in a few months.

its the madcap world we live in. soon the average wage will be excess of 50K

I just mean it’s Pee….

6 Million would you not think people would Target the Race  , insane

Been some top Yank horses have won it in the past

Great Carnival....good to see Japanese, American, Hong Kong, European horses etc etc taking each other on.
love it!
Some real sad a Holes on here!

34 runners at sedgefield yesterday ............115 meydan today ! whatever floats ya boat !

Money good, quality sh1te. The top drawers remain in their boxes possibly having a keep. Ridiculous money: Easy come, easy go. A $1 rise in oil  could pay for this meeting multiples of time.

I hope the J@ps clean up,nice well mannered race,and clean and tidy unlike this cesspool uk…..

Quality sh1te imp?

Shows you have a very narrow view of World racing.

This card is 10 times better than for example than the so called 'Champions' Day' at Ascot.

Form... Agree. The Japanese have a passion for the sport (not just from a betting point of view but

of the sport itself) that surpasses anything elsewhere and they are building a breeding industry

and knowledge that will be second to none. They will dominate the World scene before much longer.

Certainly is considering what they pay for those well bred UK horses.

Larry Colmus - this should be interesting…it’s my first straight course race I ever called.

Proceeds to make Thommo look like an absolute great.

The Japanese people took their own waste bags to the World Cup and tidied up after themselves……quality upbringing,,,,unlike some of the pork in the Uk and the rest of Europe…..

East. Yes, he's completely out of his depth,with big fields and no saddle cloth colours to go by.

That last race was probably the worst call I've ever heard!

UAE Derby. Japan 1,2,3,4!

I went to The Japan Cup Years ago best mannered people i have ever come across......Dont mention the War though.

Tidy ride by Moore!

Yes, got a good tune out of the runner!

Broome swept aside his opponent finally. I backed him at Epsom when AOB had a battalion; Moore putrode Buick again!

Dettori just collected £240 for riding the winner Lord North. He'd win the biggy too on Country Charmer. What a lucrative day for him, if so.

Why is Ruby there? Lol

Ruby - we all say Equinox running down Panthalassa at Tokyo and he’s done well at Nakayama which is a much sharper track.

Wtf did aliens kidnap Ruby?

Well…Ruby called it.

The world is going to end

A machine

Ruby - Lemaire rode him like I would’ve

Again…wtf

That was brilliant to watch, he couldn't pull him up

frankie got £240 for riding lord norf ? bus fare home!

Visually impressive. May I ask a rude question? What has he beaten?

Fran Berry interviewing Beckett is that the first time they have spoke since he got the sack?

impossible123,  he beat the clock, best guide for now.

Money obscene surely? Algiers was getting 15k for winning a York hcp 6 months ago,now 2 million for finishing 2nd,these jockeys could work 1 day a year ffs.

The Japanese started buying up stallions 30/40 years ago, whilst the British horseracing institutions were asleep,resting on their laurels.

This is only the beginning of their dominance.

That looks to be the future G Hall and meanwhile we all look on and wonder why!

so who's to blame, Robert Sangster?

Who is to blame?

A good question, British horse racing was the creme de la creme, for a long long time and rightly so, but standards started to slip, and once that happens, it can lead to a downward spiral, that has cascaded.

A pertinent example, was changing the Epsom Derby from Wednesday to Saturday, one small but significant change. There have been many many examples of the racing authorities overseeing the steady trickle of decline without anything being done.

The pantomime that was the Bryony Frost / Robbie Dunne circus ,being one of the most recent. It should NEVER NEVER have been allowed to transcend into the farce it became.

The ultimate cause of the decline of UK racing must be down to the bookmaking industry, I'm not an expert but it appears to be a huge cause of the problem.

I can only think that the decline of standards in Western Europe in the last two decades especially, in all walks of life,are coming back to bite us.

I was not referring to the Whole Meeting ,Just that one Race

RE: EQUINOX Itv shouting and roaring about the greatest horse in the World ,Really ? was impressive and great time

It beat Westover 3 lengths on Levels ..

tbf case the official winning margin does reflect the dominance. He hardly asked the horse and was literally pulling up before the race finished. And for what it's worth, still 'broke the clock'.

#doesn't

Unless there’s a change of heart they’ve decided on the Breeders Cup instead of the Arc.

Worried about the potential ground at Longchamp.

A pity, but understandable.

7/1 with 'laddies' if fans of Equinox are interested.
