Y16 DUBAI WORLD MILE

Welcome to this year's running of the Dubai World Mile. We have a small, but high caliber field. In gate one, in the SOPS silks is Ventura. This grade one daughter of Impressario has shown an affinity for the sprints no matter the surface. This appears to be her last venture into the field before her retirement to the breeding shed. She is ridden and trained by Amber Black. She looks to be her usual self-aware self as she's led to the gate and she goes in smoothly.

In gate two we have another SOPS horse, but in Firestone Racing silks. This turf runner is looking to try out his career under a new trainer and we're eager to see how this Foolish Lad son will perform. He was the most easy going in the paddock, but he doesn't seem to be reacting well to our third entrant, Spotlight Pride. The colt seems to be riled by the male's blatant challenge, but it looks like his jockey James Collura has him under control. He's fussing, but now he's in.

Last, but not least we have our third entrant from Witch Creek Stable. Spotlight Pride is looking to be his typical energetic self as he's bouncing in the post parade over the sand to the gate. Reese Jones doesn't seem to be rattled in the slightest as she rides the bay colt through his little fit. He's grounded now and is being headed into the gate....a little bit of pressure and now he's in.

Now we wait for the gate....AND THEY'RE OFF!

Pride is off the quickest and has settled into the lead and Ventura has settled in three off the leader with Call of the Wild half a length back. It looks like Call isn't taking too the sand, he was slowest out of the gate, trying to find his footing after swerving slightly out at the start, but he's settled and is traveling in Ventura's footsteps it seems. Pride is running unchallenged, but Ventura is looking and waiting for her move with Call now biding his time in the back.

They halfway with only four more furlongs and it looks like Ventura is picking up the pace and closing in with Call hot on her heels, but Spotlight Pride isn't waning! He's running strong and the three of them are now all charging for home and Ventura and Call of the Wild are closing on Spotlight Pride's lead!!! It's coming down to the wire, but Reese is now asking Pride for more, but he's been running the lead the whole race! Can he hold off the masses??

And they're past! It's too close, the photo will need to make the determination. What a great race!

win Spotlight Pride (nose)
place Ventura (neck)

Congrats Ripleykins. Can't deny I'm disappointed at how close we were lol but we all know who gets the mile the best these days XD You should totally cross his lines with Frozen Motion's down the line

[Ripley]

Lol perhaps Pride and Kismet will have a date in the future. Freeze's other baby that I'll own will be a colt so that's the only shot


Prizes:

Ripley: reserve to Call Of The Wild (I think I should just adopt him as a stud Frostykins xD. I now have 2 Call reserves. I shall ponder carefully xD)

S u N f r O s T ~: surface supreme, one 1 furlong extension, one 2 furlong extension


Cruisey: surface supreme, one 1 furlong extension, one 2 furlong extension
