Over at ThoroFan, I take a dive into today’s feature race at Meydan, the winter Carnival’s flagship race, the Dubai World Cup (G1). Can Thunder Snow repeat? Will one of the invaders dethrone him?

ThoroFan: Charles Town Classic Preview
In my latest at the ThoroFan Handicappers’ Corner, I tackle the Grade 2 Charles Town Classic!
It’s always good to find the best horse…and when the best horse is the only one in the race with form over the one-of-a-kind Charles Town track, he looks like a stone cold single.
Picks and Ponderings: 2018 Sam F. Davis Stakes and Suncoast Stakes Preview
For the first time in a couple years, Picks and Ponderings won’t be at the Sam F. Davis Stakes — our foray south will instead happen a little later this winter, for the Tampa Bay Derby. However, being in Chicago won’t stop us from previewing Saturday’s pair of sophomore dirt stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, the Sam F. Davis Stakes (G3) for open company and the Suncoast Stakes, the newest-minted Oaks points prep.
Head over to Picks and Ponderings, read my preview of Saturday’s pair of three-year-old preps at Tampa Bay Downs, and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
(My preview of the Sam F. Davis Stakes is published at ThoroFan Handicapper’s Corner, as well! It’s not the only race at ThoroFan this week; Michael Amo also tackles the Grade 1 Gulfstream Park Turf.)
ThoroFan: Delaware Handicap Preview
If you insist upon playing the Delaware Handicap, you will want to play exotics. Songbird will pay five cents on the dollar in the win pool…and yet, that almost makes sense, as a humdrum effort by Songbird (to the extend that she is capable of humdrum) would still be good enough to eclipse a strong effort by any of her five foes. If she hadn’t tried a mile and a quarter, perhaps there would be a question. But, she won the Alabama (G1) last year at the same distance, and should be able to tackle it again.
So, who’s the best of the rest?
