2013 Dubai World Cup – R8 – Dubai Sheema Classic Analysis

Race 8 – $5,000,000 Dubai Sheema Classic (G1), presented by Longines, 2,410 metres, Turf #8 GENTILDONNA has been a beast. The winner of the 2012 Japan Cup (G1) against Orfevre, her will to win as seen in that race is dynamic.  While she doesn’t win by much, she wins, and bulls her way through to [...]

2013 Dubai World Cup – R7 – Dubai Duty Free Analysis

Race 7 – $5,000,000 Dubai Duty Free (G1), sponsored by Dubai Duty Free, 1,800 metres, Turf Let’s make it clear – we believe 11 of 14 horses have legitimate chances of winning this race, and the other three aren’t far behind.

2013 Dubai World Cup – R6 – Dubai Golden Shaheen Analysis

Race 6 – $2,000,000 Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1), sponsored by Gulf News, 1,200 metres, All-weather Barring a stumble at the start, there should be no question the Americans will go forward at the start, including #3 TRINNIBERG and #12 PRIVATE ZONE. Private Zone really reminds us of Kinsale King, who won the inaugural running of [...]

2013 Dubai World Cup – R4 – UAE Derby Analysis

Race 4 – $2,000,000 UAE Derby (G2), sponsored by Al Naboodah, 1,900 metres, All-weather Contrary to the Dubai Gold Cup, we have plenty of strong opinions in the UAE Derby. Break this field into three groups – the seasonally based Dubai runners, the American duo, and new shooters from other global locales. Get a scale [...]

2013 Dubai World Cup – R3 – Dubai Gold Cup Analysis

Race 3 – $1,000,000 Dubai Gold Cup (G3), sponsored by Al Tayer Motors, 3,200 metres, Turf Honestly, our opinion on the form in this race is not a strong one. #1 IMPERIAL MONARCH seems very likely to go on with it from the inside, as #3 CAVALRYMAN and #4 SEISMOS in close attendance. #10 STAR [...]

2013 Dubai World Cup – R2 – Godolphin Mile Analysis

Race 2 – $1,000,000 Godolphin Mile (G2), sponsored by Etisalat, 1,600 metres, All-weather So what is the biggest question to reconcile in finding the winner for this race? We see it in two parts: how does #13 SOFT FALLING RAIN stack up to older rivals, and what is the likely pace scenario.  In the history [...]
