saturdayy is an amazing day for racing fans...on espn2 from 5-6 there is a live telecast of the florida derby nd a tape of the dubai world cup....both are shaping up to be good races indeed...

so the florida derby..its a G1..but it doesnt have G1 calibur horses in it...maybe with the exception of majestic warrior...but he hasnt proven it so far this year..two allowance winners tomcito and big brown are going at it..but tomcito i tihnk is the better of the two....it will definitley be a great race to watch..with majority of the field coming off of victories...face the cat is a horse that i am anticipating to see run in graded stakes company..he was looking good in his last win...but i tihnk for this race..im gonna have to incorperate nistle's crunch..the jersey bred..i saw his last race, and he looked real good. soo for thiss race...i tihnk im going to playy a lot of trifectas...cas there are too many possibilities..this is a talented field...my winner is feirce wind..i tihnk..haha i reallly like hey byrn who has won a the 1 1/8 mile distance...but granted that was against allowance company...

soo im putting fierce wind on top of big brown...and nistles crunch/majestic warrior to show...im not a fan of elysium fields at all..even though hes covered te distance...idk...im not on his bandwagon, but he has a great shot to win. =]

soo the dubai world cup...curlin a.k.a. super-horse is the 3-5 ml fave...

this a deep field with 4 us invaders: well armed (dont know why hes in here) great hunter (he could hit the board maybe?) curlin (self explanitory: hes great) a.p. arrow (it would be a longshot indeed)

soo my horse to win this race is the japanese invader vermilion...this horse has been infallible since last years world cup...vermilion as well as asiatic boy will give curlin a run for his $$$...even though asiatic boy was 3rd in his last prep for the cup, everyone has a bounce race..i mean come on..he won the triple crown over there last year..give him some props ya know..also returning to the cup is 2nd place horse premium tap...i love this horse to death, but he hasnt been in his form lately...he could give curlin a problem also..with that wide 12 post of his...happy boy is alright...hes not a standout..he could do something..like 4th maybe?

for me being an american...i am going to be rootin for curlin all the way...but im not going to bet him to win @ such chalky odds...im going to put vermilion on top of curlin over asiatic boy/premium tap...

the other americans running in dubai on saturday are better talk now in the dubai sheema classic...i think he has a great shot...spring house...yeah right you can forget about him....not with the likes of youmzain, who was 2nd by a head to dylan thomas in the l'arc de triomphe last year...quijano, oracle west, and yellowstone are others that i think will do somthing, but of course i will be rootin for BTN..

in the duty free there is notional...hes a LONG long shot though...i kinda like bullish luck as well as literato...i m still <3 broken over lava man's last place finish in this race last year..

in the sprint..the golden shaheen..theres colbalt blue..merv probably wishes he was still here to send his horse to dubai...i dont like this horse...barbecue eddie..ehhh...well hes alright in california..idk about the middle east..bushwacker...well same goes for him..hes good in cali..but they usually cant run anywhere else...benny the bull...im all about this one...hes amazing...he has a wonderful shot of winning this one..and idiot proff...i also like this horse, and he has proven that he can run outside of cali by setting a track record @ monmouth for 6 furlongs...1.07 and change!...now diabolical...the deleware valley phenom who was sold to godolphin...im going to be roooting for him becuase im a big fan..i saw him run @ deleware and the pha all the time ans i hope he comes home victorios in the shaheen..

massive drama is in the uae derby..this is his prep for the derby  i guess...i am not giving him a shot even with gomez in the irons..and hes 6/1 4th choice morning line...he may hit the board if that..

diamond stripes and barcola are in the godolphin mile...i realllly like stripes in this race..the mile is his best distance by far...im anxious to see how he does...im putting my $$ on him...blackkat blackkitten is my choice though..hes phenomenal...barcola can forget about it..also with gomez in the irons lol
