Kent it only takes 20 minutes research and you’re onto a cracker for the year.
Not sure ive ever had a bet at this festival. Not to say it isnt interesting, but kents comments are spot on
Richard Hoiles has just said on RUK that tomorrow’s opening meeting is in doubt due to heavy rain – looks like it isn’t just the UK that is awash.
anyone got the stats I requested? Please?
Or will I have to trawl the RP site. Boring!
That should keep you quiet for a while

Clive, where else in bleakest mid-winter are you going to get the opportunity to back top quality, well-bred, thoroughbreds from around the world, who are trained by masters, ridden by the best, racing on grass, on their merits, at speed – and without any dirty great obstacles to ponderously overcome.
It’s a magnificent festival. I wont miss a race. I’ll be starting a thread in DL&P tomoz for any views and discussions. And like Chelters, you get the opportunity to back good horses at val… – sorry BIG – prices.
I like the carnival, you get too see what the South Americans have got, hough i suspect theirs not a decent group one winner left in that conitnent at the rate the Arabs have been buying them.
Dandy Nichols takes out a team, but i doubt they will get a win, his horses didnt look fit enough last year and Dandys older horses do, too my mind need a race or three to hit top gear.
The De knock did not look fit in England last summer, god knows what they were doing but they did not look like horses who were at the races in GB, their best result seemed came in the states, I hope his string get back too form….
`i am looking forward too seeing Eagle Mountain again, he was a favorate or mine, i am surprised he was sold too race out their, i thiought coolmore might keep him and run him this year.
When did Lizard isle join stan moore, he is a turf horse and they are thinking about running him in the UAE Guineas or Derby, stan mores runner in last years last years UAE derby was by More Than Ready, who bangs out grade two class runners in the states regularly, last time I chck Danehill Dancer sure as hell didnt…
Imagine the Carnival had been around 10-20 years ago, there probably wouldn’t have been Champion Hurdle wins for Kribensis, Alderbrook, Royal Gait, Istabraq, Collier Bay in my opinion. Instead of being sold/sent Hurdling they most probably been sent to Dubai.

Martin. On emirates website
BAD GIRL RUNS (SAF)
5yrs Bay M (291)
Exported[/color:3hpezhpz]
Not sure if that means sold on, but maybe thats why there are no entries for her
Will be on both ATR and RUK and also Sky Sports.
They are defintely racing tomorrow night but there is some query as to whether grass races will be run or not so may be a shortened dirt only programme.
For those following the Carnival you may find the follwoing websites of use :

Hope you all enjoy the coverage.
