Saudi Target For Princess Zoe

Group 1-winning stayer Princess Zoe (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}) will point toward the Red Sea Turf H. on the Saudi Cup card on Feb. 26, with connections deciding against a winter campaign over hurdles.

Princess Zoe made a remarkable rise through the ranks last year after joining Irish trainer Tony Mullins, climbing from an official rating of 64 at the beginning of the season to 110 at the end, when she won the G1 Prix du Cadran at ParisLongchamp. Though Princess Zoe went winless in five starts this campaign, she was runner-up to Subjectivist (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) in the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, and was last seen finishing fifth behind Trueshan (Fr) (Planteur {Ire}) in the latest renewal of the Cadran on Oct. 2.

“She's in light training, but we've decided not to go hurdling,” Mullins said. “I feel it wouldn't suit her, so we had her meeting and owners Paddy [Kehoe] and Philomena [Crampton] have agreed. We're considering the staying race at the Saudi Cup meeting–the Red Sea Turf. It is a handicap, but I think it's quite a tight handicap. We're going to train her with that in mind and hopefully go there. She's in light training the whole time and we'll just see how she does over the winter months.”

Mullins said Princess Zoe could be covered if she runs below par in Saudi Arabia.

“The way we're looking at it is if it doesn't work out in Saudi, we'll cover her, and if it does work out we'll aim for aim for the Ascot Gold Cup–that's sort of our rough plan at the moment. The track in Saudi should be good and level and we acted on good to firm at Ascot during the summer. I'm not a big fan of it [running on fast ground], but the timing is right as if it doesn't work out then she will probably be covered.”

Online and Casino Baccarat Strategy: Track Your Games

For the most part, Baccarat players have come to realize that there really isn’t a foolproof strategy for this game. But, there are many strategically simple moves that you can make to enhance your chances of becoming a winner at baccarat online gambling and traditional land based casino baccarat gambling.

One important aspect of the Baccarat games played at most casinos is the scorecard, or in some cases the piece of paper and pencil the casino sometimes provides for keeping track of the outcome for each hand. At most casino gambling tables you will see many people using this simple system as a chance spot patterns. By tracking the patterns many players feel that they will be better informed on placing future wagers. Because this system does not change in any way the outcome of the game, gambling casinos allow it and actually encourage it. Actually, one hand has no bearing on the next, and is never influenced by the preceding hands. Understanding that, you should realize that this is really a trap that many players fall into time and time again. For example, if you are wagering on the flip of a coin (heads or tails), if it landed on tails 8 times in a row, a big part of you thinks the next flip will be heads. While there is a big chance that the next flip will in fact be heads, there really is still a 50% it will go either way. Alas, any baccarat strategy that causes you to change your wagering based on previous hands are in fact useless. You should not rely on this strategy to become a winner.

Even though you will still see most everybody using this form of tracking on the scorecards and you will be temped to rely on this method, resist it. The casinos would never provide these cards or even allow the technique if they stood to really lose from it. It is basically a form of entertainment. Maybe it is even a way for the casino to distract you from the more valuable parts of the game. Your best bet is to avoid these forms and stick to the current game being played. Whether you are betting at a casino in Las Vegas or taking advantage of the simplicity of online gambling it is always best to play within your means and to play smartly!
