Godolphins' Kentucky Derby & Oaks bound horses are leaving Dubai on the 17th. As a general rule I have no problems with nor do I see any reasons why the ship from Dubai comprimises a horses opportunity to run to its ability. They are loaded onto a temprature controlled cargo container that's loaded into a plane and my understanding is they basically sleep thru the flight. Nothing new here. But every horse is different and I am concerned with how a horse like Essence of Dubai will handle the derby day chaos who tends to be very high-strung and tempermental on his best days.
Who's Powis Castle?
