Ghaamer won race #4 at Al Ain Racecourse in Dubai. Looks like he won by 10 lengths.

Before You Know It won the Karakorum Elektra Stakes by 4 lengths at Aqueduct today. I believe this was her first stakes win, which would make her Hard Spun's 41st stakes winner.

Oh, man, I don't know how we missed this one !!!

Ertijaal made it 5 for 5 in the Nova Stakes on the straight at Meydan on February 28! He blew out of the gate and never looked back.

Finally found a race replay for Ertijaal's winning debut effort Nov 28, 2014,
which he won by some 6 lengths:

I found this replay of a win by Ertijaal at Lingfield in GB a year ago on April 18, 2014. I'm confused. They said his race in SAF in November 2014 was his debut race?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8e3FoIDWHs

Figured it out. There are two of them. One bred in Ireland, sired by Oasis Dream; and one bred in Australia, sired by Hard Spun. This race in Lingfield was the OTHER Ertijaal. Very confusing!!

Ertijaal is apparently entered in the G1 South Africa Classic on March 28.

MAFTOOL finished 2nd in G2 UAE Derby. He had an outside post and was slow to start afting being 'naughty in the gate' per reports. Raced wide the entire race. He did good to get 2nd and has enough points to qualify for the KY Derby.

Does anyone know if he is pointed to the KY Derby?

He's nominated to the TC, and Godolphin has always coveted winning the KD, so maybe he will go. Would be great to have a Hard Spun running that day. I hope they take a shot.
