This is more like it lads!
A elegant and smooth production with a class visuals and a world class guest in John Gosden.
3pm-6.55pm
Who on earth is interested in racing in Dubai though? There will be a few but thats it – a few!

I’m with you Ian a total snooze fest for me the whole Arab racing scene. Have to admit though the grandstand at Meydan looks impressive.
Certainly had a curtain raiser feel to it. Seemed like plenty of turf horses were using it as a prep. Dont think we saw too much in the way of form this evening. The fawning of the Dubai Racing Channel would have put Briony to shame. Think I’ll watch the RUK coverage next week.

Rather listen to Gosden than any of the prats and imbeciles that ATR and RUK pay
Nevison or Gosden?
Luke Harvey or Gosden?You seem to forget Mr Wilson that this is a forum mostly populated by the ‘clever’ tweedy clique that would abolish most flat and all artificial surface racing and would probably like to shoot all flat horses rated in double figures unless they agree to run more slowly, further and fall over occasionally.
In between semi-cryptic or ‘superior’ digs at the core of racing they will try to get you to join in their syndication of a 45 rated all weather animal that you could probably outrun.
That aside, it’s good to have different or other coverage and it’s good to see the british contingent almost dominating the opening day. A good lead up to the winter derby and the start of the flat season.
Not surprising it’s mostly ignored here though I’d expect a cursory thread or two about the main event, even if it is only to lambast it it as unworthy without Sea The Stars participation and in comparison to the two day Perth festival.
It was a rare treat to listen to Gosden fawning over marvellous Meyday. Should ensure the Princess Haya horses don’t go too far away.
There really is a Perth festival? I honestly never knew, but guessed those pesky arabs must have copied the idea from somewhere.
Probably won’t be there this year, please pass on my apologies.
Gone downhill this week unfortunately, Carson is "the expert" and in conjunction with Persad it gives an unhealthy Sunset & Vine – BBC connection to the coverage. They even had McGrath calling a race last week and what a pigs ear he made of it, had to redo the commentary.
Didn’t realise it was on Sky Sports as well but I did wonder why we had two people in a studio talking about Flat racing in the middle of the jump season. ATR should have stuck it behind the red button – at one point there were three meetings being run at the same time.

I guess none of the dissenters have worked out what an easy earn the De Kock camp provides at this Carnival every year.
