Confidence in Bid as he goes for Al Quoz Sprint Darren Bunyan has total belief that Hit The Bid belongs at Group One level ahead of the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan on Saturday. Yet to be out of the first three in three outings in Dubai, the four-year-old has yet to dip his toe into the highest class. Bunyan is unfazed, however, and has full faith in his stable star. "It's brilliant for a small stable like ours and we're looking forward to it," he said. "It's a very big thing, normally you'd need 100 horses behind you to come to places like this. It's the sort of thing you aim for when you start training. "It's a very competitive Group One sprint and you need luck in them. If he gets his share of luck he'll be very competitive. "He's loved the weather out here - I wouldn't have mind staying here myself! The ground should be perfect for him. "From the middle of his two-year-old days we started thinking of this, we minded him last year, there's no real programme for sprinters in Ireland anyway. "There's no doubt he's a superstar, he's a very good horse. He has natural raw ability, massive early speed and it might sound mad but I don't think there's a horse who could get this lad off the bridle early. "It would be no shock to me if he won, in my opinion he's a solid Group One horse."
