What the Nation is saying about the 2012 Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1)...

ROCKET MAN was denied back-to-back wins in the Golden Shaheen by the Kieren Fallon-partnered Krypton Factor. Last year's winner disputed the lead withearly pacesetter Giant Ryan and was clear of rivals turning for home. But the pace had been strong and as Rocket Man's boosters began to fade Krypton ...Read More
Hello to all from Dubai. Normally, we are quick to put together post-race thoughts on the full gamut of activity from the 2012 Dubai World Cup, but given the emotionally charged nature of the day, both powerful and challenging, we thought it best to let our thoughts settle for some time. We do not v...Read More

Am I excited about the Dubai World Cup card? Let me answer it this way ... The eight big races carry a combined purse of $27 million.

  • yukichan · I think Rocket Man will get his second win, definitly has proven himself at Meydan. I REALLY liked Lucky Nine until he injured his hoof and drew the outside post. Of course the patriot in me hopes all our US horses do well! · 62 days ago ·

There were few surprises in the draw. MARITIMER, Canada’s juvenile champion, did draw in to the main body of the UAE Derby field after Boby Di Job was not entered. Defending Dubai Golden Shaheen champion Rocket Man drew the rail in his attempt to become the first repeat winner of the race since Call...Read More
This race is stacked with talent. The Factor, Sepoy, Rocket Man, Lucky Nine, Giant Ryan. We really are getting some of the world's top sprinters to square off. I'm excited
The Factor will make his next start in the Dubai Golden Shaheen at Meydan on March 31.   
They say perfection is unattainable, and as a practicing golf instructor, I’m inclined to agree, but maybe even if this is the sad reality for the human race, we can still strive to find perfection within our world.

  • New York Vinnie · If you think that ten races is ignorant then just look at the list by Bloodhorse. As far as I can gather there is just one horse, #94 Artful (1902) that raced less than ten races. All other horses raced at least ten races. · 95 days ago ·

  • RuffianQueenOfRacing · Hey, im just trying to get my head around you saying Landaluce was great, and then you said no horse that races in under 10 races is great. Yeah she died young, but doesnt mean she could not have raced more, if she was so great, i mean im just going off what are saying sooo · 95 days ago ·

Australian trainer John Sadler, who spent three seasons in Dubai, glowed about the conditions that visiting horses face when coming to the desert.
