Thanks Mr. ED. Info like shying from a bird while enroute to an easy victory is why I came on this board. However, as I've become accustomed to, I got talked out of going to the local (15 miles) Turf CLub that handles Aussies as it would be too late and they would close early on Weds. night. This after I read that fellow punter your info on the bird, the key race with multiple winners coming out, and his nomination for cups. Figured he might be good price as it was his first up. I've gotta get my phone-bet account up and running. The Turf Club does close at their own discretion when only Australian is running. Every time they announce they are closing, every one there starts yelling and freaking out (rightfully so). You can still bet the later races but you better have a bank roll. Great angle Mr. Ed and I suppose Sportz as well if Dolphins Tycoon got second.

On another note, did anyone hear about the snafu with the mix-up about Dubai Millenium's half brother (Dubai Exellence) and another horse (Samood)from Darley Stables? The wrong horse, Samood, was shipped to a Perth stud farm and was found not to be Dubai Excellence by the organization in OZ that monitors such matters. The article stated that the whereabouts of Dubai Excellence are unknown. What's up with that??? It's at DRF.COM under Mystery Horse heading.
