BOLD Rex, in training at Newmarket, UK, and being ridden here by Lisa Moncrieff – he’s doing very well at his temporary home and is a candidate for the Dubai Carnival in 2018.

“Bold Rex and Icy Trial have been at Newmarket for a while and I’m not going to fly them into Dubai early. We’ll keep them at Newmarket, get them fit in the UK and ship them to Dubai late, perhaps even as late as January 2018,” Mike said.
