Believing and Howdeepisyourlove favourites for G1 Al Quoz Sprint

A busy schedule seems to work for Believing, who began the first of nine runs last year with an outing in Hong Kong and wound up with a close third in the G1 Prix de l’Abbaye (1000m).

A busy schedule seems to work for Believing, who began the first of nine runs last year with an outing in Hong Kong and wound up with a close third in the GI Prix de l'Abbaye (1000m).

George Boughey's sprinter has achieved multiple Group I placings and now represents the exclusive ownership partnership of Coolmore and Resolute Racing following her sale for 3,000,000gns (approx $4,000,000) at Tattersalls last December.

"Believing shipped over to Dubai as well as we could have possibly imagined," Boughey said by phone.

"She's a filly who has obviously been quite busy and had her passport out the last couple of years so travelling has come as second nature to her.

"It's been the plan for a long time and she's had a faultless preparation through the spring.

She landed on Saturday night, has been out on the track and Kristan Archer and Jordan McMurray, my guys out on the ground, are delighted with her.

"In the videos I've seen she looks super. She won't do a huge amount this week, she was rock hard fit on her way out there, so she'll just tip away and we'll look forward to seeing how she gets on on Saturday evening." Trainer John Size expects Howdeepisyourlove to be finishing hard when he contests the GI AI Quoz Sprint (1200m) on Saturday.
