Dubai World Cup Invitation for Zenyatta
Despite 6yo Zenyatta's connections announcing plans for an exclusive American campaign, they will be invited to compete in the Dubai World Cup.
Frank Gabriel, CEO of the Dubai Racing Club, said it is his aim to "secure a line-up of the highest quality for the Dubai World Cup" and "a horse of the calibre of Zenyatta will be of paramount importance".
Should Zenyatta accept the Club's invitation, she could compete against the outstanding mare Vodka JPN (Tamino Gimlet JPN), winner of the Japan Cup and Japan's Horse of the Year for the second year, in the $10 Million Dubai World Cup.
Other invitees will be Hong Kong winners Vision D'Etat FR (Chichicastenango FR) and Presvis (Sakhee USA) along with US Grade 1 winner Gitano Hernando FR (Hernando FR).
Jess Jackson, owner of Rachel Alexandra USA (Megdaglia D'Oro USA), has already ruled out racing his Dirt specialist on the new DWC Tapeta surface.
Rachel could meet Zenyatta in the $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park, Hot Springs, Arkansas, on April 3 which would temporarily settle their fans' feud over which female is better.
On the other hand, what a fabulous international race it would be if all three great fillies raced each other in the DWC!
And Goldikova IRE (Anabaa USA) competed in the mile.
