    The Dubai Carnival kicks off next Thursday. Any news on horses likely to make the trip from the UK/Ireland? I see Banknote will be the Queens first runner there.

    I don’t suppose anyone knows when The RP are doing their Dubai carnival pull-out? I don’t tend to buy it during the week but would make an exception for that.

    Today !

    Dammit! I’ll have to get to a newsagents sharp-ish. I’m suprised it wasn’t a splash on their website.

    Thanks Richard!

    Really good pull out today. Looking down the list of horses running over there I got really excited about this!

    Sad I know, but I love my flat racing a lot :D

    Hi Everyone,

    I see lots of horses targeted for the turf events – am sure the Sheema Classic and Dubai Duty Free will be as competitive as ever – but if the World Cup was being run tomorrow – who would line up?

    KANDIDATE – bit like The Pilgarlic back in the day in The Grand National, runs every year – will never win
    ASIATIC BOY

    Errr…. thats it for me

    Over to you guys – who’s gonna run?

    Might De Kock run Eagle Mountain? Wrong surface, but his horse’s best distance.

    I imagine Jalil might be specifically trained for the race (he wasn’t last year, even though he ran in it). I was hoping Cocoa Beach may have targeted at the DWC but it seems she has stayed in America.

    Racing post have posted their pullout on their site, and Timeform are giving away a free card for tomorrow’s meeting. Good on them both.

    I see Happy Boy runs tomorrow under a new owner and trainer, i dont know who this Shafya the trainer is but he seems to have alot of former Godolphin runners, this was the race it won last year, i was on at 20s e/w and the rsult was never in doubt very impressive, my money will b on again.
