FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dubai World Cup Day To Boast Top U.S. Talent California Chrome, Main Sequence are among an influx of American Competitors That Will Join the World’s Best in Meydan PROSPECT, KENTUCKY, March 16, 2105—The 2015 Dubai World Cup Carnival, at the legendary Meydan Racecourse, has been thrilling fans since early January and there’s unprecedented excitement remaining. What’s made this year’s Carnival different? The dirt track is back and several top US contenders, including 2014 Horse of the Year California Chrome, have taken notice. It all started at Nad al Sheba, Meydan’s predecessor race course in 1996, when the champion US horse Cigar triumphed over the competition from Dubai, Japan, Australia, and Europe to win the very first Dubai World Cup. In the 20 years since, six other US horses have tasted victory in the desert: Silver Charm, Captain Steve, Pleasantly Perfect, Roses and May, Invasor, Curlin, Well Armed, and Animal Kingdom. Is another US winner ready to claim the trophy on the 20th anniversary of Cigar’s victory? We won’t know for sure until they reach the wire on March 28, but one thing is certain, the US will be well represented. At the top of the list is California Chrome, who won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness last year on his way to earning Eclipse awards for top 3-year-old and Horse of the Year. Breeders’ Cup Turf winner Main Sequence, Lea, Distinctiv Passion, Big Macher, Candy Boy, Constitution, Secret Circle and Salutos Amigos are other notable American horses who might compete on Dubai World Cup Night. But it’s not just American horses. Top horses from all the major international venues including Japan, Hong Kong, UK, and South Africa will also be there for the world’s richest day in racing. And some of the top American trainers who have enjoyed success at Meydan return, including Bob Baffert, winner of two Dubai World Cups (Silver Charm in 1998 and Captain Steve in 2001); Bill Mott, who took the inaugural Dubai World Cup in 1996 with Cigar; and Graham Motion, who won in 2013 with Animal Kingdom.
