The flat is back
While playing Football World Cup in the desert may not be a great ideal, running the world’s richest race is!
This weekend we have two key events in the racing calendar , the highest profile being the Dubai World Cup in Meydan. Here is another sports event I will make the effort to attend some day. For the moment, I’m still sat behind my monitor taking an active interest in it from the other side. The racecourse was designed to be spectacular and a draw to people all over the world and they have certainly achieved that. I’m aching to get there at some point and will do so when the time is right.
Over the years the amount of liquidity on the races in Dubai has slowly crept up. Interest peaks in the racing here as we run into the Dubai World Cup carnival and eventually the Dubai World Cup itself in late march. The activity on these markets is not the same as UK racing, but worth a look in-between the other races. On World Cup day individual race volume can be quite significant. I’ll be active on these markets today on top of my other activity. Five years ago I did a fantastic job on this race, so much so that I haven’t beaten it since. I’ll have another go this year.
We will also be looking forward to the return of the flat turf season this weekend with the Lincoln at Doncaster. We should rejoice at the return of the flat turf season. It’s return will herald less clashing and generally bigger fields. In the winter it can be a right pain when you have many cards and all the races and are falling all over each other. This will mean you should see better opportunities and more, just around the corner. I’ve produced a video for you to watch on the effects of the return of the turf which you can view below.
In all it should be a very busy and potentially very profitable weekend.
