What the Nation is saying about Trainer Luca Cumani...

ILuvTurfRacing · Can't wait to see Presvis back in action again on Thursday in the G2 Al Rashidiya over in Dubai!! I think it's very fitting that Luca Cumani and his connections decided to bring him back to Meydan for one more Dubai Racing Carnival, his fourth, for what likely be his swansong. Presvis has been such a warrior over the years. He's traveled all over the world and raced in the biggest venues in the UK, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore. He's a G1 winner in Hong Kong, having won the 2009 Audemars Piguet Q.E.II Cup, and also in Dubai having won the 2011 Dubai Duty Free. He also has other multiple stakes wins in Dubai and the UK. In the 3 Carnivals that Presvis has raced in, he's won at least one race in each of them. Going back to the 2009 Carnival at Nad Al Sheba. But his form in Dubai at the 2011 Carnival was arguably the best of his career. When he blitzed the G2 Al Rashidiya field in his first start. Came back to finish 3rd in the G2 Jebel-Hatta, in a race where he hit the wire in a 3-way photo finish with Wigmore Hall and Poet's Voice, and then finally won the Dubai Duty Free that had eluded him for so long. · 16 days ago ·

Medlocke · Leahurst adapted to the Tapeta surface at Meydan as well as any horse that raced during the whole 2010 Dubai Racing Carnival, IMO. He ran two huge efforts, winning both of them on Meydan's main track. Leahurst suffered a fracture in winning his second start in Dubai. That's why he was scratched from the Golden Shaheen. But Leahurst, had he not been injured, really should have taken a shot at the Dubai World Cup as well as he performed on the Tapeta surface. Leahurst and Gitano Hernando are quite similar in the fact that until Gitano Hernando lost the race for the World Cup, both came in never having been beaten on any synthetic surface track that they had ever raced over. I really think Leahurst could have been a big player in the Dubai World Cup. Gitano Hernando could have, and should have finished much better than he ultimately did in the Dubai World Cup. He broke from gate #2, right outside of Allybar. But Fallon waited far too late into the race to make any kind of move with Gitano Hernando. Two or three times during the race, Fallon had the opportunity to split Mastery and Allybar, to get Gitano Hernando into the clear. By the time Fallon did get Gitano Hernando into the clear, he accelerated well. But Gloria De Campeao, Lizard's Desire, and Allybar were all ready off and gone. Leaving Gitano Hernando with far too much to do. TJMO. · 658 days ago ·
