medlocke · When he's fresh and ready to go. There's just no keeping up with Skysurfers over a mile on that Meydan tapeta. He really thrives on that surface. He overcame a P.P #13 draw to win the Godolphin Mile today. After setting the Meydan track record for a mile on tapeta in his previous start winning the G3 Firebreak Stakes. He left I Want Revenge in his wake. Beat him by more than 8 lengths. IWR ended up 10th in the Godolphin Mile. Duttrow better be happy he wasn't entered in the Dubai World Cup or it would've likely been a worse defeat than he suffered in this race. · 318 days ago ·

medlocke · Mendip absolutely loves the Tapeta at Meydan. He raced 3 times at the 2010 Carnival. Winning 2 of them, and running a game 3rd in the UAE Derby. His second win, the Al Bastakiya, he thumped stablemate and 09' Breeders Cup Juvenile winner, Vale of York. Mendip was totally impressive winning the 2011 Al Maktoum Challenge Rd.1 on opening day of the 2011 Carnival. Off of that performance. I can't imagine Godolphin with anything more than one more run in what will likely be the Al Maktoum Challenge Rd. 3. And if all goes as well as Rd.1 did? I'm sure an entry into this year's Dubai World Cup will be on the table for discussion. · 390 days ago ·

tiznow · Not sure what US will represent with in the World Cup, but if Mendip goes there, it will be hard for me to root against him. i was so high on this horse last year, glad to see him back and doing well off the rest. Can't believe I had honestly forgotten about him. · 389 days ago ·

Rossington · This being the second season that the new Meydan facility has been in existence in Dubai. And the main track now Tapeta, and no longer conventional dirt as was the case at the old Nad Al Sheba facility. I've not seen a horse dominate a surface like Mendip has done on the Tapeta main track at Meydan. He just eats that surface up. At the 2010 Carnival, he made the 09' Breeders Cup Juvenile winner, and his stablemate, Vale of York look like a maiden colt. Mendip really thrives at Meydan. I also believe that Godolphin doesn't have a better representative to send to this year's Dubai World Cup than Mendip. He will be a load for Gitano Hernando, Gio Ponti, Snow Fairy, Wigmore Hall, or any of the other "big name" horses headed to Dubai for the DWC. Godolphin's Allybar really thrived on the Tapeta at Meydan in 2010. Winning the Al Maktoum Challenge Rd.2, 3rd in the Al Maktoum Challenge Rd.3, and 3rd in that now famous 3-way photo on the wire between Allybar, Lizard's Desire, and Gloria De Campeao that decided the DWC winner. That said, I'd rate Mendip as a better horse on the Tapeta than Allybar. The great thing about Mendip potentially racing in the DWC is that you'll get him at a price with more established G1 winners in the race. And I'll take whatever long odds they want to give me on Mendip all day long. Because I believe he'll be right their with the best of them at the wire. JMO. · 389 days ago ·
