My definition of life

Started with stong winds from Thursday, 26th from noon. There was heavy downpour and some parts even saw hail stones. I am in no way complaining, as everybody enjoyed the sudden pour of rain.

Rain complicated the $6m race as well. Unlike the track 11 years ago was retrofitted for better drainage. Well Armed, a 6-year-old gelding claimed the richest price in horse racing. The Brazil-bred Gloria de Campeao was the distant runner-up, with the Saudi-owned Paris Perfect third.

Wet or dry, this will be the last race at Nad Al Sheba. It will be in the huge Meydan City from 2010. Meydan complex is huge and is a mammoth structure. The grandstand will house a 5-star Banyan Tree hotel.

Rain also complicated the Coldplay concert. People still braved the rain and wind to hear Chris Martin and gang who were wearing the “heroes of theuae” band.
