Racing TV are showing them live on the YouTubes.
Habibi & Hamdalala as they say over there.
Haven’t decided on the Saudi Cup as yet…I think this will be a big season for Derma Sotagake because that was a huge run in the Classic off a massive layoff. With more racing he might blossom into a proper horse. Not really excited about anything in her to be honest with you.
I think Luxembourg is nap material. He had a far worse draw in Hong Kong and just failed to get up vs Romantic Warrior (who runs tomorrow in a local G1).
I say worse…because he was 10/11 in Hong Kong but stall 13 here.
The thing is the 10f start in Hong Kong is about 150m to the bend but here the start is at the bottom of the home straight and they will have the entire straight to sort themselves out.
So he should be fine…in fact 13 will give Ryan and easy time finding a nice spot.

Saudi Arabia taking over world sport with all their cash.

Go to Saudi, grab a life-changing prize and then go to Ayr or Kelso. I love the run-in at Kelson. I believe it's about 3f long.

It seems even longer when your horse is in front.
.... and much shorter when your horse is coming with a late run. Good meeting next week. |

applejuice got his hubby with him? Call me old fashioned but I could never accept this ….. |

By:
Apparently the run-in is only 2f, just googled. Have they chopped-off 1f?

In Saudi? Special dispensation I hope. Otherwise,...he might not make it back for Royal Ascot.

Luxembourg means business today. Moore is awake, not too awake I hope.

Spirit dancer wins
|
|
By:
Farhey wins it with Spirit Dancer in the ownership of Ferguson and his mates - the same mates that lost a chaser in the big race. The jockey is Oisin Orr. The prize money is enough to pay for that expensive horse they bought off the Browns who sold Caldwell Porter.
Moore overcooked the horse by rushing Luxembourg up at the start. |

is Sir Alex at Old Trafford today or in Saudi winning a million?
|
|
By:
The 17:40 is worth £7.8m to the winner. I cannot recall one has even run in the UK; petrol money is sickening to be wasted in this manner when some in Africa are starving.

Sir Alex in Saudi. He was interviewed on tv.

The British racing paupers have descended to the oasis in Saudi today. However, no runner in the most valuable race of the day ie the Saudi Cup with £7.8m to the winner. Shame on British trainers.

don't worry Ryan, no one noticed you mistaking the winning post too soon

Tower Of London (Moore) just pipped Enemy (Kingscote) to the 1st prize of £1.2m; the runner-up collected £500k

No Dettori. I'm surprised being so money-conscious.

They media love to big up these non events. Wonder how much they get paid to do so.

By:
All expenses paid by the host, I imagine. Otherwise the meeting will go off unnoticed.

virtue signalling comes free. slightly less appealing for these types to turn down significant dirty wonga, with no public visibility. there is a tangible opportunity cost, then.
