Hi Frank,

Thanks so much! All the horses that come to Dubai with the plan to return home after the races stay within quarantine barns. They can go out to train, but they come back to the barn they are assigned, just like the Europeans do when in quarantine at Breeders' Cup.

Great article here Michele, thank you. I love Royal Delta and hope she gets the win in Dubai. I hope Princess Haya, who I believe is Sheikh Mo's wife, gets to give Royal Delta a big kiss, two formidable femme fatales! Filly power!!!!! Is Game On Dude in the same race? Well if he is he is just going to have to settle for second.

I don't see it happening for Delta, she's no Zenyatta, but you never know in horse racing. The journey abroad has to take a toll on horses who make the trip. That must play into everything even if the horse is a true talent.

Much respect for Bill Mott.I don't think this filly could hit the board against the boys this weekend in The New Orleans Handicap.You got to be in it to win it.They got the invite so might as well swing for the fences.The World Cup doesn't look that deep to me this time around.

Hi Michele,

I love reading your articles this week. I had a question on this particular one though..how come Delta had to go back to the quarantine barn on the 27th when she arrived a few days ago? Like I'm just not sure how that works can you explain it to me? Thanks, and have a good time! Will be watching Saturday!
