Watson trifecta in the Dubai rain

Yes, it does rain in Dubai and did so last Friday.

However not much fazes Doug Watson and the three horses he saddled in the G3 Firebreak did their best to please their trainer by finishing 1-2-3.  First home was the very promising Prince Eiji who was in the hands of Sam Hitchcott, second the newly-arrived Everfast in a run that should have pleased his trainer and third The Great Collector with Adrie de Vries in the saddle.

Not sure if all three got an extra ration of carrots that night but they should have and it would have been well-deserved.
