Blue Point (Ire) (Shamardal–Scarlett Rose {GB}, by Royal Applause {GB}) handed Godolphin the first Group 1 on World Cup night 30 minutes after stablemate Cross Counter had won the G2 Dubai Gold Cup when justifying favouritism in the G1 Al Quoz Sprint. Racing keenly while off the pace, Blue Point turned back the game mare Belvoir Bay (GB) (Equiano {Fr}) to win by a length, with the dual Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint victor Stormy Liberal (Stormy Atlantic) back in third. Lifetime Record: 18-9-3-3. O-Godolphin. B-Oak Lodge Bloodstock. T-Charlie Appleby. (fonte : TDN)
Melbourne Cup Winner Returns Victorious
| 3rd at Mey, Gr. Stk, $1,500,000 | G2 Dubai Gold Cup | (3200m) | Winner: Cross Counter (GB), g, 4 by Teofilo (Ire) |
Cross Counter | Racingfotos.com
In his first start since winning the G1 Melbourne Cup in November, Godolphin’s Cross Counter (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}–Waitress, by Kingmambo) was the 1 1/4-length victor of the G2 Dubai Gold Cup on Saturday over Charlie Appleby stablemate Ispolini (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). Racing a few lengths off the pace and under cover throughout much of the two mile contest, Cross Counter was produced by William Buick at the top of the lane with plenty in the tank and had to fend off Ispolini, who enjoyed a ground-saving trip, but he prevailed handily by 1 1/4 lengths. Lifetime Record: 9-6-2-0. O/B-Godolphin. T-Charlie Appleby. (fonte : TDN)
