I've heard that Discreet Cat is worth a flutter.

DC has the plum stall 1 draw, but I still fancy Invasor.
Either way, you'll get crap all in odds.
Another nailed on one is Asiatic Boy in the UAE Derby but he is worse than evens, so a good each way punt is Folk - who you can get at 5-1

I'd vote on whatever horse is from Godolphin.
Probably one of if not the most prolific horse doping operations in the entire world.
Ever notice how 1/4 of their horses die from 'unexplained causes'. That's what happens when you pump animals so full of EPO and anabolic steroids that their hearts fail.

Re: So, IF you could bet on the Dubai World Cup...
Not actually true. While there is horse doping going on all over the world although I wouldn't speculate over libellous statements...
For one, Godolphin had an awful season last year. Hardly winning anything other than the Dubai World Cup.
For two, They are like the Chelsea of the racing world. When they win it is because they've simply gone out and bought the best horses in the world. Not many of their champions are from their own stud .
For three, lots of thoroughbred racehorses die young because most of them are born with genetic defects (as a result of decades of inbreeding). This will become more evident in the coming years as they are bred for very short term purposes (to have a very short racing career and then put out to stud quickly)
For four, the UAE is one of the cleanest places in the world to race, certainly cleaner than the US which has very lax rules about supplements etc.
For five, Invasor is owned by Shk Hamdan and is the number one ranked horse in the world on paper it has more class than Discreet Cat, but it has come from the US and is a bad traveller so it'll be between those two on the night.

You have inside knowledge on the UAE racing world then?
I can tell you that the UAE is far cleaner than the US when it comes to racing.
