Crop of 2002

Since 2002 was the year the only offspring of the great Dubai Millennium were born I included quite a few of them. My crop of 2002 included some really nice horses, among which two champion sprinters: Lost In The Fog and Thor's Echo, and stakes winner like Dubawi, Echo Of Light and Premium Tap. It still is my most accomplished so far.

Premium Tap Manages Only Fourth

I have to say I am slightly dissapointed in the fourth place finish of Allam (Premium Tap) in the The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup (G1), the biggest and most important race in Saudi Arabia's racing callendar. Kharimes (Joe Louis) won the 2400m race in 2:28.07, three quarters of a length in front of Shabel Almidaan, who beat Aloqhuwan (Omikron) by head back in third.

Yes the winning horse is quite accomplished, being an Argentinian G1 winner, but overall Premium Tap (Allam in Saudi Arabia) should have had the upper hand in this field. It is hard to determine exactly what happened or why he lost as the only information I have is the cold hard fact of the result. I sure hope he does not have a physical problem. Who knows, maybe he got boxed in, which is not impossible in a field of 18. I wish I knew. For now I will give him the definite benefit of doubt and expect him to be fit and ready to go for the Dubai World Cup, in which he is likely to face some big boys, including Curlin.

I love this horse and I hope he will bounce back to prove that he is a fantastic horse that is certainly capable of a top 3 in the Dubai World Cup, though I still want him to win it!

PS horses when racing in Saudi Arabia get different names, ie Premium Tap is Allam.
