Of all the top South African horses racing at Meydan in 2014, I.E., Vercingetorix, Soft Falling Rain, Variety Club, etc..., Heavy Metal has by far been the most disappointing to have came to Dubai a multiple G1 winner in South Africa. In 3 starts at the 2014 Dubai Carnival on both turf & tapeta he's had two 10th place finishes and one 14th place finish. Frankly, I don't see a race for Heavy Metal on world cup night where he wouldn't get thrashed again. He's not nearly the caliber of horse that Vercingetorix & Variety Club have proven themselves to be in Dubai, IMO.
