So... anectodally we (I) can say that there are quite a few variables on which we cant agree and/or interpret differently as pertains to the Dubai races. Runups, metre's, reactions, pairs, lasix on, and the list goes on. Seeking clarification on this chilly late April North Country evening, I consulted the archives and found myself at the Y2K Breeders Cup TG's (not sheets) to see what A O'B did with another dirt bred who was trying to win a major North American dirt race. Thank you all for the latitude as I may not be completely accurate. Still, maybe no relevance but check out Tiznow and Giant Causeways pages. Wonder what that analysis looked like...5 point top. Anyway, fastest horse, top trainer, appropriate running style, adds Lasix, 7-1, and there you have it. Until the draw anyway. One more comment...was anyone at the Breeders Cup and was around the paddock for the Juv Turf? Heard it was quite the scene with Medelssohn screaming and dropping like a stallion. If you read this and say "what is this dude on"? I understand
