Title: AZURE COAST
Post by: prist on February 17, 2022, 06:11:04 AM
There\'s a Russian 3yo making news in Dubai (https://youtu.be/dALrvgbPcPc)

Here he is breaking his maiden in Moscow (https://youtu.be/sm5XlexzoVY)

If all goes well in the UAE Derby, Pavel Vashchenko might be thinking about a race in Kentucky.

Doug O\'Neill trained APPRECIATED won the Curlin Stakes on the same card with a 61 raw Beyer. Running mid 80\'s level Beyers before the win in Dubai. 90 BSF top.

A G3 sprint race came back with a 58 raw Beyer.

AZURE COAST won the 2000 Guineas with a 71 raw Beyer.

No idea what the relationship is between 1 & 2 turn races at Meydan.

I wonder if there horses are participating in a state run doping program?

Nicely bred horse.  If he comes to KY they need to put him in a 24 hour surveilled stall.  Doing that stopped Drug O\'Neill.

Pencil-neck Carstanjen will have more drama to deal with if this horse continues to run well.

The Russian boycotts have spilled over into the sports world.
