Dubai World Cup

Asking a lot of Yibir there Buick wasn't he! Some effort in the circumstances

That's how he's generally always ridden

Would've won I think but they seemed to go no pace up front

Yibir is always going to be a hostage to fortune

It worked in the breeders Cup turf but not today

Very happy for a case of you and ado mcguinnes, article in the paper said he had his best year ever in 2021 and won 600k in prize money, he won more than that just from winning today. Good to see a smaller operation winning a big pot.
 
Lord North forced a dead heat there at least. Think Frankie should go earlier. Although anyone on the third may well feell the same!

The third was poorly positioned, frankie was in the perfect position but looked like he was expecting a more immediate response from the horse and rode him with too much confidence

I'm not sure to be honest. BC he was always with the rest of the field. I don't even remember him actually being last. Yesterday he was a good 8 length last in the early stages. He was well detached and as you say off a slow pace. Hold up tactics just seemed a bit over the top imo. There's no need for him to be so detached from the second last horse?

​​​​​​​Agree with McGuiness though.
