The former UAE Champion trainer has already shown us that he is an inspirational handler who is now willing to find out if fortune does favour the brave when he fast-tracks Guns And Glory for a shot at the $1 million UAE Derby. Given that the scale and margin of the three-year-old colt’s victory in the 1900metre Dubai Marina Conditions event at Meydan was exceptional, Seemar must doubtless be formulating a…
