Horse capsules by SI's Mark Beech

China Visit (50-1)
Post postion: 11
Jockey: Frankie Dettori
Dark bay or brown colt
Date Foaled: March 18, 1997
Sire: Red Ransom
Dam: Furajet
Breeder: Gainsborough Farm, Inc. (Ky.)

Trainer: Saeed bin Suroor
Record: Starts 1st 2nd 3rd
  2 2 0 0

The Line: This year's mystery horse, China Visit has been running mostly against his Godolphin stablemates in the Dubai desert. He was very impressive in winning the UAE Derby on March 25, and in winning a trial race against other Godolphin horses on April 22. Right now, however, nobody is quite sure what that means. He should be respected.
