Nad al Sheba´s swansong

Today is the final day´s racing at the Dubai racetrack at Nad al Sheba. After the World Cup meeting finishes at 19.33 CET approxiately, the wreckers will move in and demolish the buildings, next year´s meeting will be held at nearby Meydan, still under construction. But what a way to go! Today´s meeting can fairly be described as one of the best ever held. A group one for purebred Arabians followed by six absolutely top events, all with big fields and runners from all over the world. As far as betting is concerned, references here are made to the likely prices of British bookmakers, as there is no betting in Dubai.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: - -
2. Race: Two Step Salsa - Kalahari Gold - Gayego
3. Race: Desert Party - Jose Adan - Naval Officer
4. Race: Indian Blessing - Diabolical - Marchand D`or
5. Race: Paco Boy - Archipenko - Vodka
6. Race: Youmzain - Purple Moon - Doctor Dino
