What the Nation is saying about Vision D'etat ...

Twice Over got first run on Vision d’Etat as the enterprising tactics employed by Tom Queally gave the winning 4-year-old son of Observatory his second successive victory in the Group 1, $602,000 Champion Stakes, the last that will be run over Newmarket’s straight 10 furlongs. Twice Over’s victory a...Read More
Three runners from the 2010 Dubai World Cup will make their next start in the top shelf Emirates Champion Stakes (G1) at Newmarket on Saturday.  Lining up for the ten furlong race include Twice Over (10th), Vision D’Etat (12th), and recent comeback winner Gitano Hernando (6th), returning to tur...Read More

Olivier Peslier is really one lucky jockey to be able to have the mount's on both Vision D'Etat, who I think is one of the top older horses in the world on turf, and Goldikova, the mare who's reputation need's no explanation.
THE first Dubai World Cup at billion-dollar Meydan ended in a dramatic finish as last year's runner-up Gloria De Campeao (Pascal Bary/TJ Pereira) just held on in the tightest of three-way photos. Representing French trainer Pascal Bary, the six-year-old - a 16-1 chance with British bookmakers - took...Read More
  • medlocke · The photo between Gloria De Campeao and Lizard's Desire is so close, even after seeing it several times, I really don't know how they didn't come to the conclusion that the 2010 Dubai World Cup was a dead heat. Allybar was also right there in between GDP and LD, just missing by a whisker himself. Gio Ponti got up for fourth, but had to go very wide to do so. Just nosing out Mastery at the line in a very close finish for 4th and 5th. Gitano Hernando got boxed in on the rail and had a terrible trip. He looked full of run, but never really got to unwind it. By the time GH did get into the clear, it was far too late. The two biggest disappointments of the race, to me, were Twice Over and Vision D'Etat. Vision D'Etat, one of the best international stakes horses in the world, clearly did not adapt to the Tapeta synthetic surface and finished far back. It was VD first lifetime start off of the turf. · 792 days ago ·

It is possible that one of the main European favorites for the Dubai World Cup, Vision D’Etat, could miss the Dubai World Cup as he may be lame.  Rumors spread early afternoon in Dubai and it seems a complete re-work of the Hong Kong Cup (G1) for trainer Eric Libaud, who encountered the same ex...Read More

  • Medlocke · Gio Ponti did get a real good Post Position draw for the 2010 Dubai World Cup. Drawing P.P. #4 out of 14. The last time I checked on attheraces.com a few hours ago, Vision D'Etat from P.P. #6 was the 4-1 favorite. Twice Over drew P.P.#11, and had initially been the favorite until he drew wide. Twice Over was second choice at 11-2. Gio Ponti and Gitano Hernando from P.P. #2 are both 6-1, all on the parimutuel. Mastery had been 6-1, but drew wide also getting P.P #12. He's now at 8-1 with Gloria De Campeao from P.P.#5. · 794 days ago ·

The fog rolled into Dubai and took quite a while to burn off, keeping temperatures cooler but reducing visibility substantially for trackwork.  The sun would appear as a fuzzy white dot through the mist, then be gone again.  Glancing at the expected weather for Saturday’s races had many ga...Read More
In a race simply loaded with talent from all over the world, IMO, if Vision D'Etat can handle the Tapeta surface at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, he is at the top of the list. The most talented of the talent. This colt knows what it's like and what it takes to win Group or Grade 1 races, and has done so all over the world. With Group 1 Stakes victories in France, Great Britain, and Hong Kong. The only question mark for Vision D'Etat will be surface. If he handle's the Tapeta like he does the Turf, it won't at all surprise me to see Vision D'Etat win the 2010 Dubai World Cup.
TWICE OVER has drifted slightly to a best-priced 11-2 with Coral for the Dubai World Cup, having been drawn in stall 11 of 14 in the $10million contest. The Henry Cecil-trained five-year-old was the last horse to come out of the draw on Wednesday evening. Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to Twice Ov...Read More

  • Rossington · I've never seen Vision D'Etat race over any surface except turf in his racing career, so I really don't know what to expect out of him over the Tapeta surface at Meydan. I will say this, that other than a poor finish in the 09' Prix d' le Arc', he's been one of the most "clutch" racing for big money Group or Grade 1 horses in the world in 2009. With victories in the Prix Ganay, The Prince of Wales Stakes, and the Pacific Hong Kong Cup, beating a star-studded field that yielded Presvis, Collection, Ashalanda, and Eagle Mountain but to name a few. He also has one 2nd place finish to Spanish Moon in the 09' Prix Foy, and one 3rd place finish to Trincot and The Bogberry in the 09' Prix harcourt. If Vision D'Etat adapts and run's well over the Tapeta surface, Gio Ponti and Twice over, already proven stayers on synthetics, may be his only real challenges. But if he struggles on the surface, as did Prix Neil and Arc 3rd place finisher Cavalryman, than the race may become a wide open one. JMO. · 803 days ago ·

No horse has ever won the Prince of Wales's Stakes and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in the same season – though the great Mtoto went close in 1988 – but Vision D'Etat is a solid 10-1 chance to become the first colt to do so after a half-length defeat of Tartan Bearer here yesterday.Read More
