Presvis

This is one of the saddest post I've ever had to make on this web-site. Presvis, one of my all-time favorite Dubai Carnival horses sadly died Wednesday from colic the Racing Post web-site is reporting this morning. Presvis was a real globetrotter during his career and won lots of big races. The G1 Audemars Piguet QE II Cup in Hong Kong in 2009, the G2 Jebel-Hatta in Dubai in 2010, and the G1 Dubai Duty Free in 2011. Presvis was a true warrior. Condolences to his connections.

I read this on a European racing web-site today. Presvis has been on a mid-season break since running poorly in the G1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal-Ascot back in June. For anyone who doesn't follow racing on an international level. Presvis is a 6 yr.old colt from Great Britain that races all over the world, and is a G1 winner all over the world. He's the type of horse that the tougher the competition in the race. The more dangerous he becomes. Presvis is also very surface multi-dimensional. He's primarily a 10+ furlongs horse. That's always a threat to win any race on any surface. Presvis has raced in the UK, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore. His trainer, Luca Cumane, said that when Presvis returns very soon from his mid-season break. They're going to sit down an weigh his options for his next race. Cumane said he would not rule out possibly sending Presvis to America for this year's Breeders Cup Classic. Since America is the one country that Presvis has not raced in. Most of his G1 win's have come on the turf. But he has also won Graded Stakes races on all-weather, and has trained on conventional dirt. That's why I say he's always a threat to win any race, on any surface. If Presvis shows up refreshed for this year's Breeders Cup Classic? That adds another very dangerous horse to the Classic roster. Presvis is also a deep closer. That comes hard and fast with giant strides when closing out a race.
