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.
