QUOTES

From Forbes.com:

"A serious buzz horse thanks to his eye-popping win in the UAE Derby in March in Dubai, in which he cruised by 18 lengths. Aidan O'Brien not uncommonly sends his European turf horses over here to run in the big U.S. dirt races; not uncommonly, they don't do well. The Dubai race was on dirt, though, Mendelssohn's first start on that surface, and jockey Ryan Moore is shipping over here to ride, too, bypassing the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket, the first of the British classic races."
