What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Dubai Sheema Classic (G1)...

Just finished watching the replay of the 2011 Sheema Classic for the first time since the race was actually run at Meydan back in March. I can't believe how badly both Bourbon Bay and Champs Pegasus ran in that race. Bourbon Bay ended up finishing 11th of 14, Champs Pegasus ended up finishing 12th of 14. What's even worse, moreover, is that the 2010 Breeders Cup Turf winner, Dangerous Midge, ended up finishing dead last of 14 in the race. This year's Sheema Classic really did expose the Breeders Cup Turf as being one of the weakest renewals of that race in many years, IMO.
REWILDING (Mahmood Al Zarooni/Frankie Dettori) made it six from six for favourites on World Cup night and brought up a Godolphin treble with a clear victory in the Dubai Sheema Classic.The four-year-old was sent wide on the turn by jockey Frankie Dettori - who also brought up his double on the night...Read More
  • medlocke · I thought Godolphin would likely go with Mastery as their #1 horse in the Sheema Classic off of his very impressive G1 Hong Kong Vase win at Sha Tin back in December. That said, Rewilding turned out to be an equally great choice for the race. Definitely the best 3yr.old prospect in their stable during 2010 season. Rewilding ran 3rd behind Workforce in the G1 Epsom Derby back in June, and won the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes quite impressively back in August at York. Rewilding then went to Doncaster for the G1 St Leger in September as race favorite. But faded to 6th in that race after having difficulty staying the 1-3/4 trip of the St. Leger. But this colt has always been at this best fresh off of a lay-off. I thought this year's Sheema Classic pointed out something I've said more than once since November. That this year's Breeders Cup Turf was the weakest renewal of that race in the history of the event. 2nd place finisher, Champs Pegasus finished 12th of 14 in the Sheema, and the winner, Dangerous Midge, finished stone motherless last. · 782 days ago ·

Dangerous Midge was probably Europe's biggest improver last season, when he closed out his campaign by landing the Breeders' Cup Turf (G1) at Churchill Downs in November — having opened it by winning a handicap at Doncaster in England back in April.He was only rated 88 at the time, a far cry from Gr...Read More
