It was magical here in horse racing in America,until the racetracks were torn down. Three tracks I rode at are gone. Dubai has a beautiful racing facility.
Very beautiful breathtaking place. Meydan is wonderful for the horses and humans. William Buick is a great jockey. We fans got to know him from this last DWC race when our boy California Chrome ran in that race. AND almost won until Prince Bishop came zooming up to take the lead from Chrome. LOL Was a FANTASTIC race. We don't have many older horses racing in USA so we were VERY impressed with Prince Bishop. AND Buick! Then Chrome went to UK right from Dubai to train on the Gallops over there for the Prince of Wales Stakes race. And Chromes people chose William to ride Chrome. CC took right to him. But he ended up getting scratched from his Ascot race due to an abscess and a bruised cannon bone and coming home to heal at Taylor Made Farm. BUT, he's back in training and if all goes well, Dubai is in the trainer and owners sites once again. Prep race there at Meydan AND another try at that DWC. It will be an awesome adventure. Chrome loved it 7 months ago and I hope he trains up well and Loves it again....one more time.....before he retires to Stud at Taylor Made Stallions the end of 2016 and starts stud duty.
Weird to me how they are both exclusive godolphin riders but you also see them running for other owners and trainers. Buick on century dream and aljazzi for example. Also seems to me that Oisin Murphy has taken over as 1st choice for saeed now.
So you did not notice the swimming pool that they all take a dip in?. If you really know the Godolphin name you would realise how well their animals and staff are kept..the benchmark throughout most continents.
