Dubai World Cup Dropouts and Ins
Frank Gabriel, CEO of the Dubai Racing Club, felt is was of "paramount importance" to secure "a horse of the calibre of Zenyatta" for the $10 Million Dubai World Cup.
Unfortunately, her connections decided to keep to their USA schedule aiming for a back-to-back Breeders' Cup Classic victory.
The outstanding mare Vodka JPN (Tamino Gimlet JPN), winner of the Japan Cup and Japan's Horse of the Year for the second year, bled in a Dubai Carnival race and has been retired to visit Sea The Stars IRE (Cape Cross IRE).
John Sherriffs intended Life Is Sweet USA (Storm Cat USA) to take Zenyatta's place in the DWC, but she cramped up and has been retired to visit Smart Strike CAN (Mr Prospector USA).
All's well that ends well for the fillies and mares.
Red Desire JPN (Manhattan Cafe JPN), the filly who beat Vodka in the Carnival, is racing in the DWC along with favourite Gio Ponti USA (Tale of the Cat USA)--second to Zenyatta in the Breeders' Cup Classic, France's Vision D'Etat FR (Chichicastenango FR), Britain's Presvis (Sakhee USA) and US Grade 1 winner Gitano Hernando FR (Hernando FR).
The Carnival has produced a brace of very nice Godolphin potentials and Mike de Kock could have a chance at the sprint if Sacred Kingdom HK fails to show up.
