Fulbright winning this race really shouldn't come as that big of a surprise
to anyone. The thing that surprises me is his not being more fancied in
this race than he was. Fulbright didn't run particularly well over the
summer in the UK, but he ran awfully well at Meydan last season. Fulbright
had 3rd place finishes in both the G2 Al Maktoum Challenge Rd. 1 & G2
Zabeel Mile, plus a 2nd in the G3 Firebreak Stakes at the 2013 Dubai
Carnival against much deeper fields than he faced in this race. Best effort
I've seen from Modern History in 2nd in a long time, also.
