Really Special should be tough in UAE 1000 Guineas

Andrew Watkins/Dubai Racing Club
Really Special easily won her first start on dirt last month in UAE 1000 Guineas Trial.

Really Special looked very much like the best 3-year-old dirt filly in Dubai when she comfortably won the UAE 1000 Guineas Trial on Jan. 19, and if she is, she will take all kinds of beating Thursday night at Meydan Racecourse in the $250,000 UAE 1000 Guineas itself.
