Dubai World Cup night

[Irish Stamp]

Ridden them to sleep - ride of the century?

 

[Hamm]

what happened?

 

[Harbinger]

Gladiatorus went to the front, built up a big lead... and never came back to them.

 

[Euronymous]

123 please. We haven`t all got RUK. The wankers on CH4 seem more interested in a handicap.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Gladiatorus, Presvis and Alexandros I've been told via my US friends.

 

[Euronymous]

Seriously? Archi was trading at 1.5 IR at one point.

 

[Harbinger]

It's also on Sky Sports 3 and (presumably, but I haven't checked) ATR btw.

 

[Ardross]

Willoughby is going well over the top surely

The hold up horses had no chance as they were stuck behind " closers " who let the leader go miles ahead . None of them tried to go after him.Presvis is good but not a wonder horse . Paco Boy seemed to find himself in an endless pocket all the way up the straight .

My immediate reaction was whoever it was said jockeys are like sheep was spot on .

 

[Hamm]

Cheers for that.

Off to Godolphin?

 

[Hamm]

Also, does the jockey have any chance of getting a visa for UK? Godolphin need a number 2 ...

 

[Euronymous]

That`s one of the reasons its a bad meeting to bet in. Group 1 races with Group 3 jockeys.

 

[Hamm]

Come on Euro ... Moore, Dettori, Take, Shea, Murtagh, et al

Group 3 jockeys?

 

[Ardross]

Also, does the jockey have any chance of getting a visa for UK? Godolphin need a number 2 ...

They have Ted Durcan don't they

 

[Ardross]

Come on Euro ... Moore, Dettori, Take, Shea, Murtagh, et al

Group 3 jockeys?

Agreed - the problem for the hold up horses is when those expecting to sit close let a leader go - the hold up horses are stuffed .

Meanwhile C4 thinks Come Dine with me is more important than the Sheema Classic:blink:

 

[Hamm]

They have Ted Durcan don't they

yes and no. Cecil has a lot of horses this year, so imagine Durcan will be quite busy.

 

[Euronymous]

Moore`s inconsistant. Frankie and Murtagh aren`t interested unless they`re on Godolphin or AOB mounts, Take is shite outside of Japan and Shea is a tool.

 

[Hamm]

So, who are the Group 1 jockeys and where are they hiding?

 

[Harbinger]

What was your opinion of Ahmed Ajtebi before about half an hour ago?

 

[Hamm]

Me? Impressed with him. I think the Dubai carnival thread may show it, but i asked about him at the start of the carnival, and backed several of his mounts during the carnival.

I didnt back Gladatorious if that is what you are thinking.

 

[Euronymous]

What was your opinion of Ahmed Ajtebi before about half an hour ago?

Never heard of him. But if he were to replace Spencer on Crowded House i`d be quite chuffed.

 

[Harbinger]

No, Euro (we cross-posted). Atjebi and his horse have made them all look like fools. Fair dues to him. The idea that the other jockey's aren't trying in a $5m race is... funny

 

[Euronymous]

So, who are the Group 1 jockeys and where are they hiding?

Well, Mr Fallon is back in September. Soumillon, Moore sometimes, Dettori on front runners. Peslier, McEvoy, Lemaire.

 

[Hamm]

I agree, they're all good, but no better than those in Dubai.

Peslier is one of the best jockeys I've seen.

 

[Euronymous]

Fallon and Soumillon are the best in the business imo.

 

[Hamm]

Youmzain and Kirklees, both each way in the next.

Unless front house sets a strong galop, this could get messy.
