Dubai On My Mind

With just over five weeks to go it's time to start thinking about the Dubai World Cup Series. There was some scuttlebutt on the Dubai Racing Carnival site that Stormello might go over for the UAE Derby but the Downey report confirms today that Stormello will stay stateside on take on Nobiz in the FOY.

That brings us to Asiatic Boy, one of the main contenders for the UAE Derby, trained by South Africa's Mike DeKock. Asiatic Boy took the UAE 2000 Guineas, a Grade 3 prep for the UAE Derby rather handily last weekend.
