Dubai World Cup

[ten2oneormore]

Has to be one of the most diverse fields ever which will make it one of the most challenging races to handicap all year.However you handicap your going to have to merge data across continents.

African Story(UAE)
Akeed Mofeed(Hong Kong)
Belshazzar(Japan)
Cat O'Mountain(UAE)
Hillstar(GB)
Hokko Tarumae(Japan)
Military Attack(Hong Kong)
Mukhadram(GB)
Prince Bishop(UAE)
Red Cadeaux(GB)
Ron The Greek(Now represents Saudi Arabia)
Ruler Of The World(IRE)
Sanshaawes(South Africa)
Side Glance(GB)
Surfer(UAE)
Vancouverite(UAE)


No US runners but Ron The Greek will be piloted by Jose Lezcano and will be the routing interest of most Americans.

Seems like Hong Kong and Japan have sent more horses than ever and have entries throughout the card.

Polytrack experience is very important, so horses like Prince Bishop and Sanshaawes have to be respected. Of the turfers, think Military Attack can find his form from last year, especially with the addition of Moreria (who I think might be the best jockey on the planet currently)

:12: Ruler Of The World!!!
500 to W/P :ThmbUp: :rolleyes: :ThmbUp:

If Ron the Greek is 5-1 I'm going to feel compelled to throw some darts at this field to bet against him.

If it's an international pool we're betting into on Saturday,
you should get higher odds on RTG.
US money only would mean no value on him.
UK bookmakers currently list him around 20-1.

[Some_One]

Betfair prices: (only putting some of the field up)
Ruler of The World 9-2
Military Attack 13-2
Akeed Mofeed 9-1
Mukhadram 12-1
Prince Bishop 12-1
Hillstar 14-1
Vancouverite 16-1
Sanshaawes 15-1
Ron The Greek 18-1

The international tote is US-heavy, and with the only horse "they know" being Ron The Greek, he will be overplayed. Every US horse is overplayed...and there aren't many of them out there this year.

[olddaddy]

I see they are having a pk6 starting on race 4. I assume this is a mandatory pay that cant carry over?

[Tom]

Watching the band playing at the track right now.....would this be considered Middle Eastern.........


......Sheikh, rattle and roll?

Ruler Of The World is drifting in the UK betting like he's minus a leg.... :eek:

Out to 13-2 on Betfair, Military Attack 5-1 fav now on there

[dirty moose]

Why do results take so long to go official? Same thing on the Australian tracks?

[ten2oneormore]

Hong Kong looking tough so far bodes well for Military Attack and Akeed Mofeed

Think they went from 2 for 39 in Dubai to 4 for 41 with their 2 winners so far

or something in that vicinity

[turninforhome10]

I would be thrilled to have my horse running after that impressive fireworks display. Horses love fireworks :rolleyes:

[ten2oneormore]

Who knew Jennifer Lopez was still relevant

[PhantomOnTour]

Two win bets:
:5: Sanshaawes
:11: Hokko Tarumae

small exacta with those two under :8: Military Attack

EDIT: scratch that win bet on the :5: after gate mishap

[Some_One]

They should call the race the Poly World Cup, it's becoming a joke how international form doesn't matter, it's who ever has the best local poly form.

[PhantomOnTour]

Whaaaaaatever - bet three races and took a bath.

Used to love this day back at Nad Al Sheba.
I am a fish out of water on poly, and even worse on foreign poly :ThmbDown:

[ten2oneormore]

Was a closers track since January and all of a sudden today it's front runners galore.
