Dubai World Cup
I wanted to post this in the selections area and say 'anyone but California Chrome', but that isn't really providing any analysis.
Like some misguided sherpa I quickly found past performances for the entire card on Saturday. So, if you would like to figuratively rub elbows with Middle-East Oil barons, here are the past performances. |

Just quickly scanning the past performances I discovered a horse in the 6th race, the 13 horse Cool Cowboy, has won a minor stake at Mountaineer.....and now it is in a stakes race for a purse of 2 million dollars.

The 5th race was a turf sprint, 5 furlongs. But due to the configuration of the track they run it like a quarter horse race - 5 furlongs with no turns.
Final time was 57.2 or something in that vicinity. |

Here it comes, the 6th race. I never realized that David Jacobson has a horse in this race. I always thought of Jacobson as being more of a claiming trainer.
edit added: Secret Circle won by a head/neck. Pretty thrilling race. Last edited by Seven Furlongs; 03-28-2015 at 11:11 AM. |

Well, well!
The 1 horse, Prince Bishop, beat California Chrome, which I think came in second. Beat by about 4 lengths, Chrome had no gas left in the tank for the last half of the stretch. Prince Bishop closed from last to win. An incredible performance. I'm not surprised Chrome lost. I think California Chrome is a very good horse, just not a great horse. Of the two most recent horses to get two legs in the Triple Crown, I think I'll Have Another is/was much the better horse. Last edited by Seven Furlongs; 03-28-2015 at 01:20 PM. |
