When the hail, lightning and thunder eventually stopped Tuesday afternoon, I was able to record this Al Khalediah Stable Tour and meet some Arabian superstars! Keep these horses in your notebooks for when we move to Riyadh in just a few weeks 💚🇸🇦

I really wish stable staff could talk openly about their experiences and expose the injustice of working at certain stable yards, without worrying that they might not get hired within the industry afterwards for doing so.

If a horse can’t handle a bit of soft ground maybe they aren’t an Arc horse, much like if a horse can’t handle Epsom they aren’t a Derby horse?
Beauty of the sport is seeing which of these equine athletes are best on the day in certain conditions!
🗞 In tomorrow's Racing Post...
🇫🇷 Could the Arc be switched to an earlier slot?
