Arrogate in Nine for Dubai World Cup Cont THURSDAY, 23 MARCH, 2017 BRIGHT FUTURES: PROMISING MAIDEN ARROGATE IN NINE FOR WINNERS IN IRELAND By Tom Peacock DUBAI WORLD CUP In this brief series, TDN will be catching up with the progress of some of last season=s more promising maiden winners from Ireland, France and Britain. Ger Lyons had another solid domestic season by putting 57 on the board, and no horse in his County Meath yard looked more exciting than Glastonbury Song (Ire) (Casamento {Ire}), who was sent off a 4-6 favourite on his debut for a seven-furlong event at Dundalk on Sept. 30, and took it by a stylish 2 1/4 lengths. He is entered in the G1 Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas. AHe=s quite a light, leggy colt and I didn=t want to run him on soft ground but I wanted him to have one run before I put him away for the winter,@ said Lyons. AWe chose Dundalk and it wasn=t a surprise that he won as we had him in our top three and Psychedelic Funk (GB) was third in the Coventry S. and Medicine Jack (GB) won a Group 2.@ Cont. p2 Juddmonte=s Arrogate on track at Meydan | DRC/Mathea Kelley By Emma Berry Dubai, UAE--AI think it was a six,@ joked Bob Baffert as he upturned a golden falcon at the Dubai World Cup post position draw to find the number nine on its base. That=s the gate allotted to Juddmonte Farms= >TDN Rising Star= Arrogate (Unbridled=s Song), the highest-rated horse ever to run at the World Cup meeting. Later calling upon Dana Barnes to make the draw for Hoppertunity (Any Given Saturday), Baffert added of his second runner in the $10-million race, who drew wide in stall 12, AHe=s Dana=s favourite horse and Hoppertunity couldn=t be any better. He shipped well and he always gets a piece of it. One of these days he=ll get the whole enchilada.@ Japanese raider Apollo Kentucky (Langfuhr) has been Ger Lyons rates Glastonbury Song highly | Racing Post photo allocated the inside draw, while Salem bin Ghadayer=s Long River (A.P.

Maria Ritchie=s first World Cup runner Special Fighter (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) will need a good start from 13, as will the Mike de Kock-trained Mubtaahij (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who is widest of all in 14. De Kock=s assistant Trevor Brown was philosophical in his response, saying, AWhat can we do? We=re very happy with his progress since his last race. You have to take what you get.@ The $6-million G1 Longines Dubai Sheema Classic has only seven starters, headed by last year=s winner Postponed (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who has the outside gate. Mickael Barzalona will be aboard Earnshaw (Medaglia d=Oro) in stall number one, while Jack Hobbs (GB) (Halling) is in three next to one of Aidan O=Brien=s two runners in the race, Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). His stablemate Seventh Heaven (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is the only filly in the race and starts from gate six, while Teruya Yoshida=s contender Sounds Of Earth (Jpn) (Neo Universe {Jpn}) is in four and the field is completed by Prize Money (GB) (Authorized {Ire}), drawn in five.

  • 2013 Dubai World Cup Carnival – Super Saturday Report
    2013 Dubai World Cup Carnival – Super Saturday Report Super Saturday was indeed that. Eight races, all preps for the Dubai World Cup meeting on March 30, set the stage for another magnificent renewal. We have sifted through the data from the big day to find the most noteworthy items. Al Bastakiya (Listed) – 1.900 meters – AW Prep for UAE Derby Secret Number was wildly impressive in his two-length Al Bastakiya win, producing the gaudiest distance-traveled numbers of the meeting. No less than four wide the entire trip, Secret Number covered 27 meters more than second placer Zahee , and 28 meters more than third home Snowboarder . Converting the extra ground covered to lengths suggests that Secret Number covered the equivalent of roughly ten lengths more than both horses. On the surface, this seems an incredibly strong performance from Secret Number, making just his second career start, and first since late October. The times from the race, however, tell a slightly different story. In the history of racing at Meydan, there have been 48 races at 1,900 meters. Only four races had slower runs through the first 800 meters, and the field of eleven did not quicken on the run home. This year’s Al Bastakiya was slow early and slow late – checking in as the 45 th slowest of 48 races at the distance. The final 300 meters of the race were timed as 43 rd slowest. Unlike some races we see at Meydan where the horses go slow early and quicken considerably late – the 2013 Maktoum Challenge Round 2 (G2) comes to mind – that never happened in this race.
