    Andre the wedding sounded magical you must have felt so proud. I remember my husband dancing with Louise 3 years ago at her wedding to Louis Armstrongs It’s A Wonderful World…it’s a really special moment.

    Sounds like you are getting really nice weather in Arizona enjoy your last few days. Are you anywhere near Las Vegas? Ive always fancied a trip there although I only really enjoy roulette and I’m rubbish at it..lol. But on reflection guess that’s all closed due to Covid. :wacko:

    Not long to Dubai World Cup night now.I’m so looking forward to it and soon will be taking another trip to Dalham Hall Stud. Put my name down today for when the dates are released. Hoping Pinatubo will be there and possibly Ghaiyyath. :heart:

    Good luck and thanks for sharing your special day. Great news that your daughter will be moving closer to you in Illinois soon.

    Some people’s “Christmas” coming up soon, like it was mine last week….I thought i’d pop by as i noticed a horse i used to like on the flat Great Scot runs in the World Cup with Frankie on board….He’s best priced 20/1. Anyone give him any sort of chance?

    I’m a novice at Meydan but he had a fair few of these behind him at Riyadh including Knicks Go who had 6/1 2nd fav Jesus’ Team 2.75ls behind him at Gulfstream?

    Am i barking up the wrong tree? lol

    Very keen on Spanish mission in the dubai gold cup at the price

    Hoping for a big run at 6/1 seems generous to me

    Jac – It was magical for sure. The walk down the aisle and the father/daughter dance are memories that will last forever. Very, very proud. Thanks for caring as I ramble on with the proud dad thing.

    The weather has been good in Arizona, certainly better than back home in Illinois. A little sad to be heading home tomorrow but all good things… We’re about a five hour drive from Vegas. The last time I was there was in 2019. It’s a very fun city, with lots of attractions. It’s well worth a visit. I imagine some things are closed, like a lot of the shows, but I believe the casino’s are still open with “social distancing”. I prefer blackjack over roulette but the minimum stakes have gotten to high for my liking.

    I’ll be sure to get my stable updated for the Godolphin competition. Hopefully you’ll get back to the Dalham stud soon & see some of your favorites.

    Stay Safe

    @Jack
    Just had a quick look at Great Scot.
    He ran in the 2019 2000 Guineas won by Magna Grecia but made no impression there and he’s been winning small field races in Riyadh. He then ran 3rd in the Saudi Cup won by Mishriff in front of Military Law and Frankies mount Global Giant .. I don’t see him winning but place prospects are good and I wouldn’t want to put anyone off backing him.

    I’ve already backed Military Law to win and Gifts Of Gold EW but now I’m really liking the look of Hypothetical around 9/1 so going to have my final bet on the race on him..
    Best of luck Jack. :good:

    @Final Furlong
    Good luck with Spanish Mission in the Gold Cup FF he looks to have solid chances and Balding/Moore always a good combination.
    IHe was actually beaten by my World Cup EW horse Gifts Of Gold so a good run from Spanish Mission would certainly bode well for his chances.
    Enjoy the Festival finally and good luck to all :good:

    Andre you can ramble on as much as you like. It certainly didn’t put you off your picking lots of winners at Cheltenham. Enjoy your final day in the warm climate of Arizona and safe journey home. :rose:

    Five hours is quite a drive to Vegas but I guess the roads are pretty good. What a great part of the world and you’ve set me off thinking about maybe doing a guided tour of some of the States with husband Dave. Of course I would love to go to Kentucky and visit some of the wonderful studs there or maybe the Lakes or the Boston Trail. This won’t happen for some time, if at all, but I can dream…Jac : :yes:
