I do look at what is going on at the english books but would just like to see what is going on in the pools I will be wagering in. Value should be out there as long as one can pick the right value nag.

Then you are already one step ahead! Value will definitely be out there. Think the turf sprint is the only one with a overwhelming legit favorite and even he is vulnerable at the distance.

Is there a means to find out from the Dubai pp's if a sprint race is run on the straight at the foreign tracks?

Sha Tin (HK) is right handed and involves one turn in sprints on both turf and AW. Kranji (Sing) is left handed and involves one turn in sprints on both of the turf courses and the also on the AW.

Are the Dubai races webcast online this year?
I HATE Brighthouse, they don't offer the horse racing channels, and the OTB ain't open til lunch.

On a side note if Gio Ponti wins he will be very close to Curlin's career earnings mark. For those who care.

I seem to recall in the heat of the Zenyatta debate, GP was referred to, by some on PA, as just another "Z conquest tomato can". Twice Over belongs to the same club, if my memory serves me right.
GP is a very talented, and versatile, horse, but he has a tough task tomorrow.

I don't remember anyone referring to him as a tomato can.
