Lollll. Dubai Carnival? More like Dubai Circus. Very good ride on the winner but Monterrosso is not Grp 1 level. Also So You Think- not good enough at the trip. Hasnt got the gears to win over 10f or a mile, needs further.
The sooner that 4 eyed Prick O'Brien ****s his fat son off (nepotism by the way) and employs a proper jockey the better. Fat arse joseph should go to the jumps !! He is awful and so naive. So You Think or So you don't in his case is so overrated and to label him a world class horse is disgraceful - last 4 races 4264 !!!! Not good enough I'm afraid - I hate the poxy horse and O'Brien - why do I bet on him ???
I still don't get the So You Think hype? The 3 G1s he won in Europe had 5 runners, 5 runners and 6 runners and only one other horse in each race had odds lower than 10-1.
I wonder if the Sheikh realises the only reason anyone turns up to his carnival is because of the prize money because they are celebrating like they've won the Arc. I think o'brien should start looking at the worst horses in his stable and send them over next year. If Monte's good enough anything is good enough.
Monterosso beaten 6 1/2 lengths by Capponi last time, beats Capponi by about the same margin this time. Form is a joke and I'm glad I don't make any effort to make head nor tail of it. Aintree Aintree Aintree.
What a farce. Hilarious watching the legions of maktoum sycophants jumping for joy as the absolute ruler of the country wins back his/dubai world creditors money. I think the winner was owned,at one stage,by the the oldest of the Sheikh's 21 kids by his first wife (possibly second) and trained by Mark Johnson..is that the case?
Dubai Millennium's legacy lives on. 12 years after his stunning victory in the World Cup, his grandson takes the honours. A tragic loss to the bloodstock world.
Nothing against the racing in Dubai as such, but why did they base the Tapeta course on the Roodee? Turn turn turn turn turn
Dexter, Monterosso started his career by being beaten in a Wolverhampton Maiden and then in a Lingfield Maiden. He then got his head in front before winning a handicap off of 78. http://www.racingpost.com/horses/ho...=horse_race_record&bottomHorseTabs=horse_form
Quel I'm afraid I did (free bet with my account with Stan James) - but lost a packet on him last year as well - so overhyped it is untrue - very ordinary horse who wins substandard Group 1's - and people have the cheek to knock Twice Over ??? If it ever happens and he meets Frankel - Frankel will p**s all over him !!! Still hate O'Brien regardless - fiddling pr**k !!!
So You Think is not the horse they thought and they spout all of this nonsense about him being amazing purely for stud fees and stallion reasons. Thats what cheeses me off about O'Brien. So You Think looked good in Australia but their middle distance horses are rubbish. He doesnt have the gears and they should have him over a mile and a half- High Chapparals don't tend to excel over a mile-10f.
I am too mate, I think we were robbed fella! The hoops were awesome today mate, didnt let them play. Daymar wins well tomorrow!
Cheers Zen. The carnival is about as compelling as a garden fete...Breeders Cup,although possibly on its last legs,is a much superior event. Morally and ethically as well.
Suspect that might be the last we see of him on the track, unless they can find him some mickey-mouse Group 1 (Tattersalls Gold Cup?). They won't be wanting him to get beaten any more times.
