    Kicks off tomorrow at Nad Al Sheba.

    Ala this time last year I reckon Boule D'or has a super chance of scoring in the 5:15.

    Great to see Rory Cleary getting some good rides over there. Ahern, Spencer, Kinane and co are over there as well.

    Have a few contacts over there, they reckon that Testimony in the 3:45 has more than a good chance.

    Paddy Power is doing a money back special in this race if your horse finishes second to the SP favourite. (Although, there is a good chance Testimony will go off favourite !)

    Did you know that gambling is banned in the UAE and that all ISPs have gambling websites blocked so its not possible to even get your bets done online when out there !!


    The company I work for did a website for Emirates Racing - you can get Race Cards, Form Guides and Results here...

    I really fancy Beriloz in the 3.15 and the odds for it are great. I'm rushing this post because the race is off in 5 mins, but it has good solid form, and is great eacy way value in my opinion. I could be wrong and it could come nowhere (very likely knowing my form) so I'm going with a small e/w bet.

    1 (2) King Jock (T OShea) 5/1
    2 (1) Azarole (J F Egan) 9/2
    3 (3) Pentecost (S OGorman) 9/1

    Doh! :o

    Godolphin, with McEvoy on board, good enough for me.

    Testimony in the 3:45

    sorry - horse ran very well but his stablemate hemmed him in a bit coming around the last bend. Came from well down the field with a great run to finish 2nd.

    Well Armed was just too good.

    [edit]
    reassessment - we was robbed. should have won that race - it was the best horse ridden badly.McEvoy should've had him closer to the pace, annoying when that happens.

    Testimony runs in the UAE 2000 Guineas at 17:10 Nad Al Sheba. Frankie is on him this time - not sure if thats a good or bad thing!! If its a decent price it'll be worth an e/w bet. He's drawn next to Well Armed - if Frankie keeps him closer to the pace he should win this.
