The defending champion in this race Tallaab Al Khalediah sports four impressive victories this season running his undefeated streak to ten. His victory last year was against many of these and he is certainly the horse to beat. It is worth noting a number of these horses come out of grass races or mile races on the dirt so it is important to try to find horses who look like they should stay the ten furlongs on the dirt.
