Sheema Classic cont. Gentildonna (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) is back for the Japanese and one of the favorites for the Dubai Sheema Classic. Drawn wide last year, she covered nine meters more than winner St Nicholas Abbey (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), an amount of ground that is more than her 2 1/4-length margin of defeat. With Ryan Moore now aboard, does she work out a better trip? The wonder mare is drawn in gate 12 and will require a tactical ride to land the blow.

G1 ... Twelve of 13 starters in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen have raced at Meydan this season, suggesting that the form to find the winner is fairly clear. Hong Kong's Rich Tapestry (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) won the last local prep at Meydan, the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal, becoming the second horse from the Special Administrative Region to win an all-weather stake in the desert (Dynamic Blitz-2011 G2 Al Shindagha Rich Tapestry Sprint). 2013 Golden DRC/Andrew Watkins Shaheen winner Reynaldothewizard (Speightstown) was just behind in second, but both horses raced forward behind an interminably slow early pace. Trakus, which is the sectional timer at Meydan, RaceBets.com has released its odds for the 2014 Leading First recorded the first 800 meters of the Mahab Al Shimaal Season Sire in Great Britain & Ireland. They are as follows: in 48.40 seconds, 0.32 seconds slower than the next-slowest 800-meter split in the five-year history of SIRE BY PRIZEMONEY BY WINS the race on all-weather. Needless to say, closers need Rip Van Winkle (Ire) 2-1 3-1 not apply when the forwardly placed runners had such Zebedee (GB) 3-1 2-1 an advantage. Irish trainees Jamesie (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) Paco Boy (Ire) 11-2 6-1 and Balmont Mast (Ire) (Balmont) were 13th and 12th, Equiano (Fr) 13-2 7-1 respectively, with 400 meters to run and ran the fastest (GB) 8-1 9-1 and second-fastest final quarters, respectively, en route Arcano (Ire) 10-1 12-1 to fourth and fifth placings. Some might be concerned the pace in the Golden Fast Company (Ire) 16-1 12-1 Shaheen will be similar to the Mahab Al Shimaal given Lope De Vega (Ire) 20-1 25-1 so many are wheeling back, but the presence of Lord Shanakill 25-1 20-1 American-based Zee Bros (Brother Derek) and Doug Approve (Ire) 33-1 20-1 Watson-trainee My Catch (Ire) (Camacho {GB}) are Showcasing (GB) 33-1 25-1 likely to assure a better gallop.

Cummings cont.

G1 Dubai Duty Free... Vercingetorix (SAf) (Silvano {Ger}) remained unbeaten with a perfect trip in the G1 Jebel Hatta, his final prep for the G1 Dubai Duty Free. While (GB) (Dansili {GB}) will take plenty of beating from worldwide punters, Trade Storm (GB) (Trade Fair {GB}) should strip fitter for this spot. From the Jebel Hatta, Trade Storm was going best late, recording the fastest final sectionals while covering eight meters more than Vercingetorix. That extra distance equates to roughly three lengths, less than his 2 1/4-length margin of defeat. Two-time South African Horse of the Year Variety Club (SAf) (Var) looks to avenge a G3 Burj Nahaar loss to 's Shuruq (Elusive Quality). Making his UAE debut in the G3 Firebreak S., Variety Club became the only horse of the Carnival to lead from start to finish on either surface, blowing the doors off the competition in a snappy race. He was softened by rivals Capital Attraction (Speightstown) and Empire Storm (Ger) ( {GB}) in the Burj Nahaar, allowing the Tapeta-loving Shuruq to run down Variety Club in the latter stages. Variety Club is drawn in gate 15, which will equate to a wider trip, but expect Anton Marcus to send him forward again and work out a trip.

It was a reasonably slow day thereafter, but things got going once again at night with the Dubai Racing Club=s World Cup party, held at the Meydan Beach Club at the Jumeirah Beach Residence. It=s no surprise that few punches were pulled by our hosts. Spectators were treated to great food and drink, dancers and performers, and after the sun faded, even a fireworks show. Three gymnasts, on a Akeed Mofeed trampoline that sat Horsephotos adjacent to a two story wall erected for the event, threw themselves down from the wall, landed on their backs, then flipped back into position as casually as walking across the street. Magicians came round, slipping rings off the fingers of guests, only to return them, in a sealed envelope, tucked inside their own wallets. Sheikh Mohammed, himself getting ready for what could be a big night for his Goldolphin operation, even made an appearance, staying for roughly half an hour as the sun went down over the city. As the night wore on, people lazed on low white couches under purple and blue lights, and were kept well hydrated by an attentive staff.

BEST BETS OF DUBAI Dubai is a city brimming with a variety of dining and entertainment options. For those looking to close out their stay in the Emirate in style, Michele MacDonald has surveyed both locals and visitors alike for their favorite hits.

JOHN NICHOLLS, Dubai World Cup Quarantine Center Manager, recommends La Petite Maison restaurant in the Dubai International Financial Center, named Dubai's best eatery in 2012 by Time Out Dubai magazine. "You won't find a better restaurant anywhere," Nicholls said. "You can choose anything on the menu-it's all top-class" and varies from scrambled duck eggs to La Petite Maison whole sea bream baked lpmdubai.ae en papillote. "It also has a great little area where you can eat al fresco. I just have a little warning: do not order the creme brulee if you are on your own; it's huge, so share it with your partner. This place has something for everyone. You can see all the suits from the business district there and all the locals and people of all nationalities."

English jockey HARRY BENTLEY, who makes his winter base in the Middle East. "I would think that the Beach Bar & Grill at the One & Only Royal Mirage Dubai resort would be a very good spot to go--that's where I would take friends out for a meal. Their steaks are fantastic." The Beach Bar & Grill has been described as having "sophisticated Arabian Nights-tinged decor, torch-lit terrace and fabulous ocean views" and also as "one of the most romantic restaurants in Dubai." Seafood is the house specialty. "I would also recommend a visit to the Dubai Mall; it's a good spot with all the shops--pretty much anything you want, you can find it there," Bentley said. The mall is billed as the largest in the world and stands at the foot of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and features a huge aquarium, an ice skating rink, a dinosaur exhibit and many other extras.

What were the criteria in selecting the on-air talent? As a threshold matter, we wanted to build a team that was competent in several areas--race analysis, handicapping, history of racing and racing culture. Then we set out to find a team that had the right chemistry to bring the excitement and richness of a day at the races to life.

We wanted to attract a younger demographic, and at least through our first two shows, it looks like we are skewing younger than racing=s traditional programming.
