[RC] WEC TV - Maryanne Gabbani

Our Egyptian interviewer is wandering around asking questions of various riders. "Do you have to watch your weight?" "What do you eat during a race?" Then talking to riders checking out a tack display (everyone is saying "Nice stuff. Pretty expensive") and finally interviewing a Brit sales person, who explains that they are doing the riders a favour since they are so far out in the desert away from town.

Interesting clips now showing the preparations for the horses, braiding, cooling, exercising. Saw brief shots of the American team riding in the desert. Everyone is predicting an emirati win...especially the locals. But they seem partial to the French team.

This channel is showing NOTHING but WEC Unfortunately, virtually all of it is in Arabic, with only a bit of English when they have the Egyptian journalist to talk to foreigners.

Too bad you all can't get this in the US. At least you'd see a lot of the physical plant. AND endless strings of praise for the host in Dubai. I did mention that this is Dubai TV.
