Spoiler… Golden Shaheen

Benny the Bull does the biz to continue American domination of the big sprint. Idiot Proof finished 2nd, with local horse, Star crowned in 3rd. However, Mick Kinane, rider of the third horse has lodged an objection against Idiot Proof. Replays showed Idiot Proof hung on Star Crowned almost the whole 6f. The sprint course at Nad Al Sheba is a straight 6f.
The objection doesn’t affect the winner.
Half time show on at the moment. I’m not one for these kind of things usually, but this one is spectacularly done. Telling the story of the horse. All very artistic and pyrotechnic.
I REALLY wish I was able to see the Duty Free. It sounds like it was an amazing race to watch, as expected.
It was, fantastic race. Big upset… and jockey Anton Marcus almost came off the horse, his saddle slipped, great job to stay on.

That’s what I heard on the call about him almost losing his tack.
I can’t get the darn attheraces.com site to work either, so I’m really happy the live radio broadcast is working.
Record time on the Duty Free they just said!
Ok guys, replays are up on youtube, they are in French, who cares, racing is the same.
The Godolphin Mile
Special thanks to Kingpresa for posting them. Dubai Duty Free should be up soon.
Thanks for the replay links!
Boy, those are some great camera angles and close-up shots, especially going down the backstretch. Wish we had those on some of our big broadcasts.
What an evening for South Africa!!! Took the Sheema also.
Replay of the Dubai Duty Free
Sheema should be up on youtube soon.
The big race, World Cup, next race on the card.
They just showed Curlin getting ready, man that horse looks like a monster. He has seriously filled out since last year. Very intimidating.
YEAH! CURLIN!!! :D:D:D:D
Now where’s the replay? I want to see it not listen to it via the radio 
No surprises… 
How much did Curlin win by?
Official winning distance was 7 3/4 lengths.
A mere walk in the park for this horse. Will he be challenged at all this year? Can’t see much of anything that will give him a run for his money.
Second placed Asiatic Boy will be shipped stateside this year, should add some interest to the older horse ranks.
The horse I love to hate, Great Hunter, picked up a 6 figure check for running 5th.
Worth it? I think so. He hasn’t netted that much money from a single race since he was a 2 y/o.
Proves I should keep my mouth shut. :lol:
