Warrsan makes his Nad Al Sheba debut. The six-year-old has been held winless since capturing the G1 Coronation Cup at Epsom last June, but had Fair Mix behind him when third in the HK Vase, and trainer Clive Brittain believes that effort was not his best. “Forget Warrsan’s last run,” said the 71-year-old conditioner, who underwent hip surgery a year ago, but now rides out on three or four lots a day. “He lost 16 kilos on the journey over and we could never get the weight back on him. He ran no race, 14 kilos below his best, but since arriving in Dubai he has really thrived and he is now three kilos above his racing weight. Mick Kinane rides and you ignore him at your peril.” TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 3/27/04 • PAGE 3 of 6
