  TEAM VALOR's Becrux Rebounds with Fantastic Dubai Derby Prep
The Becrux juggernaut, temporarily derailed when he was beaten 23 lengths in his desert debut, is back on track, as the Emirates Racing Association has extended an invitation for the Italian Champion to participate in the March 26 renewal of the $2-million UAE Derby in Dubai.
As of this morning, Becrux is rated by Timeform at 104, with Stagelight 105, confirming what Mike de Kock said after the conditions victory by Becrux last Friday, when the saddler of the last two winners of the race said "He's a big galloping horse who has been working well at home.
Team Valor acquired Becrux because it believed he had a chance to transfer his class to the dirt, as his pedigree has several influences of horses that have excelled or sired horses that have excelled on dirt.

Becrux (β Cru / β Crucis / Beta Crucis) is the second brightest star in the constellation
Crux and one of the one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky.
Since Beta Crucis is at roughly −60° declination, it is only visible south of the Tropic of Cancer and therefore didn't receive an ancient traditional name; "Becrux" is simply a combination of the "Be" in Beta plus Crux.

 Godolphin's Second Fiddle Wins UAE Derby | bloodhorse.com
Godolphin won the UAE Derby in 2000, 2001 and 2002 but Mike de Kock claimed it for the next two years with Victory Moon in 2003 and Lundy's Liability last year.

Any Kentucky Derby aspirations of Team Valor's Becrux and Shamardal were surely blown out of the water, but the winner, bred by Cheryl Curtin, looks an interesting prospect on dirt.
