This horse has been rock solid consistent throughout his career racing on turf in Europe, America, and in Dubai. But now since trainer Todd Pletcher made the switch from turf to conventional dirt with Mshawish, he's looked as good as he ever has in his last 2 wins at Gulfstream Park in the G3 Hal's Hope Stakes & G1 Donn Handicap. In 2 previous trips to Dubai he's accredited himself really well on Meydan's turf course winning the G2 Zabeel Mile, 2nd in the G2 Al Fahidi Fort, 4th in the G1 Dubai Duty Free(2014), and 3rd in the G1 Dubai Turf(2015). But given his recent success on conventional dirt in America, I'd be surprised if his connections didn't decide to forgo another shot at the Dubai Turf in 2016 in favor of a crack at running on Meydan's main track in either the G2 Godolphin Mile or G1 Dubai World Cup.
