Dubai Pair Ready To Rock

Tue 07 February 2017

The two horses aimed at the Dubai Carnival have been over in Meydan for 10 days now. 'I couldn't be happier with how they have settled in and I'm happy with them heading into their races towards the end of the week.'

OH THIS IS US, the son of Acclamation, who himself had a very good season last year racking up a total of 5 wins from 10 starts and going up 35 pounds in the handicap as a result. His last run was a win at Doncaster in a valuable handicap. 'I have him running on Thursday in a 7f handicap on the turf course. His work before he went out had been great and he seems to be really thriving with the weather out there. In what looks a competitive handicap I can see him running a big race. Pat Dobbs rode work on him on the grass last Saturday and couldn't have been happier with him.'

The second runner is TUPI who after a great start last year, running Magical Memory to half a length, didn't look to go on from that. 'He has been gelded since his last run in England and it seems to have done him the world of good. He is moving really well and has coped great with the travel over.' The race is a mile handicap on Saturday also on the turf course. 'Pat was lucky enough to ride him as well and reiterated what we were saying about his well being.'

The team is hopeful of a big run from them both, so we wish all our owners the best of luck this weekend.
