Dubai World Cup Thread

**pico** · 03-27-09, 06:50 AM

supposed to be the richest race in the world. what are your picks? i can bet those at hkjc?

**wtf** · 03-27-09, 07:13 AM

hkjc will ONLY take wagers on three of the races

1200 meter dirt (4th race)
1777 meter turf (5th race)
2000 meter dirt, the world cup (7th race)

I will not know my selections till I see condition of the track, some horses just hate the mud, if muddy

**big joe 1212** · 03-27-09, 07:26 AM

what time does this start on the east coast?

**wtf** · 03-27-09, 08:52 AM

looks like the USA will cover from race two , starting at 940 pm EST

**shantystar** · 03-27-09, 10:05 AM

i am there.

**pico** · 03-27-09, 10:06 AM

so race 2 start 9:40am here. thinking about spending the day at the track. maybe there is a shatin race i can watch at the same time.

**wtf** · 03-27-09, 10:09 AM

i must have the times wrong, it is 940 AM usa time

940 pm HKT

**pico** · 03-27-09, 10:15 AM

ah, fvck it, only real degens spend sat night at the track.

**fiveteamer** · 03-27-09, 10:22 AM

Note that the surface at Nad Al Sheba is very sandy, similar to that of Belmont Park, could be very kind to Casino Drive.

Here is what I like.

4,8,14 / 4,8,14,6,5,3

I would do a $4 tri, and a $6 exactor saver.

god bless.

**wtf** · 03-27-09, 10:27 AM

it is PISSING DOWN RAIN there now

more expected tomorrow

you sticking with your picks fiver?

**fiveteamer** · 03-27-09, 10:29 AM

Wow, it's raining in the desert? Not sure, has this track EVER come up sloppy? I would still stick with those selections.

**wtf** · 03-27-09, 10:31 AM

yes apparently it has happened once before during this time of year, and races were postponed

so there is a chance of that happening again

i hope not, cause the bias will be more pronounced for sure

**pico** · 03-27-09, 10:33 AM

like cramer said, you need to find a mudder.

**wtf** · 03-27-09, 10:37 AM

pico , you should consider postponing you partying till races end if it is raining and they run you can make some large confident wagers. i dont think the hk players will catch on.

**pico** · 03-27-09, 10:40 AM

ok, i'll be waiting for your tips.

**pico** · 03-27-09, 10:42 AM

not that i'll be partying that much. going to play paintball in the new territories sunday morning, don't feel like staying up too late.

**wtf** · 03-27-09, 10:44 AM

well you can bet from the comfort of your home, but i guess you have not got around to opening your online account yet. please do , you can link to your bank account and move dough back and forth

**pico** · 03-27-09, 11:08 AM

connecting my bank account to the hkjc sounds like a very bad idea. when i walk there, it give me time to think before i do something stupid.

**big joe 1212** · 03-27-09, 12:07 PM

are the races being televised?

**fiveteamer** · 03-27-09, 12:08 PM

In ths US? Who knows, I will watch them live on HPI TV.

god bless.

here is an update on the weather, looks like meeting is going ahead

also last year when the weather was like this horse on the OUTSIDE of the track on the grass won, speed horses did not do well

Dubai rain showers threaten to continue

By Marcus HershDUBAI, United Arab Emirates - The wind howled all day Friday in Dubai, but the rain stayed away - until Friday night. Then, about 10 p.m. local time, rain gusted down, and though it lasted only a half-hour or so, the shower probably was a harbinger of things to come.
After a largely dry Friday following Thursday's morning downpour, Dubai and Nad Al Sheba Raceourse were forecast to be pelted with heavy rain beginning Saturday morning and lasting through Dubai World Cup Night, and leaving open the possibility of a soggy $6 million Dubai World Cup.
Frank Gabriel, CEO of the Dubai Racing Club, said there were several places one could obtain a local forecast. "They all say something different," Gabriel said Friday afternoon.
Even if a lot of rain falls, there's not a strong fear that 2008 could repeat 1997, when downpours forced the cancellation and rescheduling five days later of the World Cup. The Nad Al Sheba main track was subsequently retrofitted for better drainage, and water now finds its way off the surface much more quickly than it did 11 years ago. Friday, the track was rated fast during morning training. The World Cup never has been contested on anything but a fast track.
The rain that has so far fallen this week hasn't had a great effect on the turf course here, either. Gabriel said the course would have been rated "good" were races run over it Friday. It should take a significant amount of moisture to turn the grass either yielding or soft, and truly change the conditions.

**wtf** · 03-28-09, 08:37 AM

for those up early to play will provide my selection as each race approaches;

race 2: number 10 to win and place

**wtf** · 03-28-09, 08:49 AM
