Buena Vista, a two-time visitor to Dubai, earned her rightfully deserved win in Sunday’s Japan Cup. Watch the replay below. 2011 Dubai World Cup winner Victoire Pisa, making his first start since the emotional victory, did very little running and finished 13th of 16.

After a smashing second in the 2010 Dubai Sheema Classic (G1), Japan’s wondermare Buena Vista was announced on course for a start in the 2011 Dubai World Cup (G1). Masakazu Takahashi from the Racing Post has more. No prep runs are expected locally.
After being first past the post in the 2010 Japan Cup (G1) and placed second by disqualification, Buena Vista struggled with the short stretch in Nakayama and came up just short in the Arima Kinen (G1).
