Led by five USA-based horses in the Group 1, $10 million Dubai World Cup sponsored by Emirates Airline, including newly-crowned American champions West Coast and Forever Unbridled, the entire card looks impressive. Here’s a look at each of the projected fields: RACE 9: $10,000,000 DUBAI WORLD CUP (GROUP 1) 2,000m (~ 10 furlongs) Dirt Dubai World Cup Likely Runners: West Coast, Forever Unbridled, Talismanic, Gunnevera, North America, Pavel, Mubtaahij, Thunder Snow, Awardee, Furia Cruzada “She’s dedicated to winning all the time: every race, every work, every gallop,” trainer Dallas Stewart said of Forever Unbridled. “We’re very happy to be invited to Dubai, and hopefully, we can meet the challenge. After last year and her season, we’re confident in her and excited for the Dubai World Cup. She’s won eight races over eight different racetracks. She loves it wherever she goes and she gives it her all.” Forever Unbridled wins the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Del Mar (Melanie Martines) RACE 8: $6,000,000 LONGINES DUBAI SHEEMA CLASSIC (GROUP 1) 2,410m (~ 12.05 furlongs) Turf Longines Dubai Sheema Classic Likely Runners: Cloth of Stars, Satono Crown, Rey de Oro, Idaho, Poet’s Word, Hawkbill, Mozu Katchan, Best Solution, Desert Encounter, Khalidi RACE 7: $6,000,000 DUBAI TURF (GROUP 1) 1,800m (~ 9 furlongs) Turf Sponsored by DP World Dubai Turf Likely Runners: Vivlos, Neorealism, Deirdre, Lancaster Bomber, Real Steel, Crocosmia, Blair House, Janoobi, Monarchs Glen, Trais Fluors, Benbatl, Championship, Deauville, Promising Run, Leshlaa RACE 6: $2,000,000 DUBAI GOLDEN SHAHEEN (GROUP 1) 1,200m (~ 6 furlongs) Dirt Dubai Golden Shaheen Likely Runners: Roy H, Mind Your Biscuits, Muarrab, My Catch, X Y Jet, X Y Jet, Jordan Sport, Reynaldothewizard, Matera Sky, Shillong “We won’t do much with him now,” trainer Chad Summers said of Mind Your Biscuits. “We’ll let him get settled in and blow him out down the lane early next week. Being prepared for all the minute details and crossing your T’s (is important). Hydration is key (in Dubai) and keeping him happy. We do need to watch the track, as inside speed has continued to look strong at the current (Dubai World Cup) Carnival.” Mind Your Biscuits on his way to winning the 2017 Golden Shaheen at Meydan Racecourse (Melanie Martines) RACE 5: $1,000,000 AL QUOZ SPRINT (GROUP 1) 1,200m (~ 6 furlongs) Turf Al Quoz Sprint Likely Runners: Librisa Breeze, Ertijaal, Blue Point, Music Magnate, Jungle Cat, Stormy Liberal, Faatinah, Richard’s Boy, Conquest Tsunami, Hit the Bid, Holding Gold, Illustrious Lad, Baccarat, Magical Memory, Washington DC RACE 4: $2,000,000 UAE DERBY (GROUP 2) 1,900m (~ 9.5 furlongs) Dirt UAE Derby Likely Runners: Mendelssohn, Gold Town, Seahenge, Threeandfourpence, Taiki Ferveur, Rayya, Ruggero, Reride, Yulong Warrior Mendelssohn winning the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (Melanie Martines) “She’s doing super,” trainer Doug Watson said of Rayya. “She had a nice piece of work (on March 18) and she’s in really good shape. The four weeks after racing every three weeks will definitely be helpful. It’s nice to have that 30 days, and she’s handled it well, having come out great. She’s just going to do a couple pieces of work and go over there with a good chance. “I know Gold Town is a good horse, and Aidan’s horse, I don’t know much about, but hopefully, we can get the trip and have home field advantage in our favour, and we know she can get the distance,” he continued. “Hopefully, the race doesn’t draw but eight or nine horses, and we can have a clean trip. She can sit off the pace if Gold Town goes, like she did in her maiden win, or she can go forward. She’ll get into that great rhythm and stride she has; that excellent cruising speed.” RACE 3: $1,000,000 DUBAI GOLD CUP (GROUP 2) 3,200m (~ 16 furlongs) Turf Dubai Gold Cup Likely Runners: Big Orange, Vazirabad, Frontiersman, Torcedor, Rare Rhythm, Al Sahem, Dal Harraild, Sheikhzayedroad, Gold Star, Natural Scenery, Los Barbados, Prince of Arran, Run Time, Parviz, Janszoon, Red Galileo RACE 2: $1,000,000 DUBAI KAHAYLA CLASSIC (GROUP 1) 2,000m (~ 10 furlongs) Dirt Dubai Kahayla Likely Runners: Ziyadd, Nafees, Al Zahir, Barnamaj, Mawahib, Paddy’s Day, Chaddad, Af Al Sajanjle, Darius Du Paon, Sniper De Monlau, Tallaab Alkhalediah, Af Marrah, Bandar, Cheik Roque RACE 1 : US$1,000,000 GODOLPHIN MILE (GROUP 2) 1,600m (~ 8 furlongs) Dirt Godolphin Mile Likely Runners: Heavy Metal, Rosa Imperial, Economic Model, Kimbear, Second Summer, Special Fighter, Musawaat, Secret Ambition, Shamaal Nibras, Adirato, Akito Crescent, Muntazah, Raven’s Corner “Kimbear is really training well,” trainer Doug Watson said. “Both he and Second Summer have been working nicely. Second Summer is just going to have one more piece of work, and I might take the tongue tie off him. I hope we can get him right on the night and he can run a big race. He hasn’t been himself, and it’s upsetting because I know he’s a very good horse.”
