This horse is all racehorse. Surpassed $4 million with his win today. A long time ago, he was my Derby pick, but he didn't make the race, and he has turned out to be a really neat horse to follow. In the top 3 out of 17 of his 25 races, with seven 4th places, and one 5th.
Looks like he will head to Dubai next.

Hi Cree,
He is one hard trying 6YO and started his 6YO campaign right. As you mentioned, he is scheduled to run in Dubai's World Cup, where he finished 3rd to California Chrome last year. He will also meet the 2nd, 4th, 7th and 8th place finishers out of the 2016 Dubai World Cup...in order, Mubtaahij, Special Fighter, Candy Boy and Keen Ice. In addition, Neolithic, Lani and Midnight Storm are probable starters. Though California Chrome will not be racing, this won't leave Art Sherman out in the cold this year. He plans to run Dortmund in the World Cup. Seems like we have quite a bit to look forward to over the next 3 months...anyone else think horse racing is getting interesting once again:>) TJ

Maybe Lani will be this year's Mubtaahij, who ran second last year at long odds, after a lower-rung finish in a TC race?
