Hi Bob,
The race is worth a total of 170 points across the board (100-40-20-10), as is the Florida and Louisiana Derby also to be run this Saturday. TJ

You are right TJ...my error. I meant to say 100 points are on the line for the winner of the race. Thanks for clarifying my post.

Hi Bob,
The UAE Derby will have real meaning this season for the first time in years, now that they've returned to a dirt surface. The distance of the race is key and I wouldn't be surprised to see the top two finishers come here for the Kentucky Derby. TJ

I agree TJ.

That's the best use winner I've seen since discreet cat

He was dominant! What a turn of foot! Off to Louisville...I give him a real shot. Has now won twice at 1 3/16 miles-should be the most fit horse in the Derby. May sit a nice trip in the race and has great acceleration.
