Jerry,
Thanks for the Dubai description. You might consider doing a little free-lancing for the Travel Channel. Sorry about Super Frolic - just wasn't his day.
The network coverage didn't show much of the festivities but the OTB channel did. The chariots of fire (literally) were spectacular. One OTB TV highlight was when they miked Jerry Bailey and Dettori as they rode the whole course together and pointed out all key points - they were really smoking. Baileys memories of what it was like to be on Cigar at various points of call was priceless.
As for Dettori, there are days when I've appluded him and days I've cursed him - sometimes in the same race. LOL. I may be a little biased since he is my paisano, but nobody rides that Nadar al Sheba course better than him. I don't consider jockeys as important as many but I always look seriously at any horse he rides on that course.
