California Chrome sul tetto del mondo! Sua la Dubai World Cup a tempo di record!! Il sauro di Art Sherman inavvicinabile per Mubtaahij e Hoppertunity
- By Claire Novak,
A year later, a year better for California Chrome in the $10 million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I).
After coming up second in last year’s edition of the event, a wide trip throughout did not hamper the 2014 Horse of the Year March 26 at Meydan.
Breaking from post 11 in the field of 12 for the 2,000-meter (about 1 1/4 miles) dirt trek, jockey Victor Espinoza hustled the son of Lucky Pulpit out of the gate and into third—four-wide on the first turn and three-wide on the second bend. Mshawish set the pace, with Special Fightertracking second,
Espinoza’s athleticism was tested as California Chrome’s saddle slipped far back past his barrel, but the jockey maintained his balance, his brilliant chestnut mount unleashed a powerful burst exiting the last turn, and the duo left their rivals in the dust in the world’s richest race.
“I was just trying to keep my balance and not move my body,” Espinoza said. “I just kept looking forward and thinking ‘where’s the wire?’ It was not coming fast enough.
“I felt like if I could hit the turn three or four wide I’ll be in good shape. Today it proves how he can run when he’s 100 per cent. In the prep (race), he felt strong. He won easy. I didn’t want to override him because I knew he was going to have a tough race today.”
Final time was 2:01.83, a new track record on the dirt course installed for the 2015 meeting at Meydan. Mubtaahij made a rail move to pick up second, but was well behind the winner, who covered the distance in a track-record time of 2:01.83. Hoppertunity finished third. Completing the order of finish were Special Fighter, Frosted, Mshawish, Candy Boy, Keen Ice, Hokko Tarumae, Teletext, Vadamos, and Gun Pit.
“He’s back to his best,” jockey Christophe Soumilion said of Mubtaahij, the 2015 UAE Derby (UAE-II) winner. ”It was an excellent run. I had a nice position but California Chrome is just a superb horse.”
California Chrome will leave Dubai March 31 on a Chicago-bound flight, where he must clear quarantine before continuing on to Taylor Made Farm for some well-deserved R&R. He will spend about 30 days there before returning to Sherman’s barn.
POSTPONED RIGHT ON TIME IN SHEEMA CLASSIC
Roger Varian landed a first Dubai World Cup night success as Postponed (IRE) oozed class to strike under birthday boy Andrea Atzeni in the Dubai Sheema Classic presented by Longines.
The Sicilian-born jockey turned 25 today and was always travelling sweetly aboard the late-maturing five-year-old.
After swinging wide into the straight he was soon in control and stretched away from Japan’s Duramente (JPN) to record a thumping two-length victory in a track-record time of 2mins 26.97 seconds.
Fellow Japanese runner Last Impact (JPN) stayed on from the rear to grab third place, with Ryan Moore weakening back to fourth aboard the Hong Kong Vase winner Highland Reel (IRE), having cut out the majority of the running.
“To win here tonight is right up there with the best, and it is great for the team back home,” said the winning trainer.
“This is one of the biggest nights of the calendar on the global stage. The prize money is nice but it is winning these big races which excites us all.”
Varian inherited the Newmarket yard of the late Michael Jarvis in February 2011 and just weeks later was in Dubai for his first runner as a licenced trainer with Laheeb, who finished a solid fourth in this race.
Just five years later he was back and struck gold with last year’s King George VI winner, who only joined Varian’s Newmarket yard in September after owner Sheikh Mohammed Bin Obaid moved his 35-strong string from nearby-neighbour Luca Cumani’s stable.
“I was quietly confident watching the race as tactically Ryan Moore set an even gallop and I was happy with our position,” added Varian.
“I knew that if he picked up in the same way as when winning his prep race here three weeks ago then it would take a god horse to get past him. He is a heck of a good horse as a King George winner. He is versatile and professional and ticks all the right boxes. I imagine the King George will again be his mid-summer target with a run or two before.”
Atzeni added: “What a way to celebrate a birthday! I rode him work on Wednesday and knew after that it would take a good one to beat him. It is massive me to win here for Roger, all the team at home and for Sheikh Mohammed Bin Obaid.”
The runner-up has won a 2000 Guineas and a Derby in his homeland, and jockey Mirco Demuro commented: “It was very unfortunate he ripped a shoe off before the race and they could not replace it.
“He wasn’t comfortable on the ground with just three shoes but still ran really well and was beaten by an excellent horse.”

Postponed secures Sheema glory for Varian
Report: Dubai, Saturday - Meydan: Dubai Sheema Classic Presented by Longines (Group 1) (Turf), 1m4f, 4yo+
ROGER VARIAN maintained his impeccable record for owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum with Postponed securing his second Group 1 victory in comfortable fashion.
RELATED LINKS Sheema Classic result
The Newmarket trainer has now trained five winners from five runners for Obaid, including victory earlier this afternoon with Barsanti in the Rosebery Handicap at Kempton.
The King George hero travelled well throughout the contest and soon put the race to bed in the home straight, providing rider Andrea Atzeni with the perfect present on his 25th birthday.
Postponed is now 8-1 with Paddy Power to land the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot, while Betway make him 8-1 favourite for the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in October.
Varian said: “That was good to watch. I was happy from the outset really. They went an even gallop, Andrea got him in a good position and he quickened nicely.
“He’s a very good horse. He has thrived since he has come out here so all the credit has to go to my staff. We’ll get him home and make a plan, though he will be contesting the main mile-and-a-half races in the summer.”
How it developed
Ryan Moore set the early fractions aboard Aidan O’Brien’s Highland Reel, though at just a steady early tempo the field soon stacked up on the approach to the home straight.
Gailo Chop, partnered by Thierry Jarnet, threatened on the outside of the Irish raider but his move was swiftly covered by Atzeni, who produced Postponed with a telling run on the outside.
With over a furlong to run, the race was over with the market leader comfortably clear of the Japanese-trained pair of Duramente and Last Impact, who stayed on to take second and third respectively.
Highland Reel kept on at the same pace to take fourth, while Sheikhzayedroad travelled well into the race before finding little for pressure to finish outside the placings.

MOORE SHOWS HIS REAL STEEL
There was a second Japanese success on Dubai World Cup night when Ryan Moore came with a well-timed run to take the $6m Group 1 Dubai Turf Sponsored by DP World on Real Steel (JPN).
The son of Japanese super-sire Deep Impact paid a compliment to subsequent Dubai Sheema Classic Sponsored by Longines runner-up Duramente with the victory. Real Steel had finished second to that rival in last season’s Japanese 2000 Guineas and fourth to him in the Japanese Derby.
Real Steel came closest to bagging a Classic success when going down a neck in the Japanese St Leger last October.
Here Moore steered Real Steel to a half-length victory from the Marco Botti-trained Euro Charline with a staying-on Tryster two lengths back in third.
It was a dream result for Ritto-based trainer Yoshito Yahagi, who had worried beforehand about being drawn in stall 14.
“I am so happy,” said Yahagi. “I really thought that my horse was the best in the field going into this race. He settled well, though I thought he’d be a little further back. Ryan rode him to perfection. Just as I thought, breaking from box 14 wasn’t a problem at all.
“Ryan was never able to get an inside position because the other jockeys would not allow him. But I still thought he could win despite not having cover.”
Yahagi was effusive with his praise for the winning rider ahead of the race and equally so afterwards.
“As I’ve said before I think Ryan Moore is the number one jockey in the world and I trust him completely,” said the trainer. “If we had been beaten with Ryan on board then there would have been no excuses.”
Looking ahead, the winning trainer reported that he had no immediate plans.
“At this point I’m not sure where we’ll go but Ryan said that any distance between 1600m and 2000m would suit him,” he added.
Moore was full of praise for his mount.
“He’s a beautiful horse, he’s got lots of quality,” said the winning jockey. “It was a big effort from the horse, he had a tough trip and was out wide but has toughed it out. He never runs a bad race. He’s a very brave horse and had to do it the hard way.”
Earlier on the card, Lani (USA) had won the UAE Derby Sponsored by the Saeed & Mohammed Al Naboodah Group for Japan.

REAL STEEL benefited from a wonderful ride by Ryan Moore to notch a second winner on Dubai World Cup night for Japan.
Breaking from stall 14 of 15, Pricewise selection Real Steel was steered across to take up a prominent position, finally finding room to squeeze close to the rail at around the half-way mark.
RELATED LINKS Dubai Turf result
It was Godolphin’s Very Special who made a break for glory rounding the home turn but the strong-staying Real Steel had more than enough to reel her in, before holding off the gallant Euro Charline to win.
The victory was a third in the £2,448,980 race for Japanese-trained runners, following Admire Moon (2007) and more recently Just A Way (2014).
Hit the front too soon
Ryan Moore, who led home a British-based jockeys one-two-three, with Frankie Dettori on Euro Charline and William Buick guiding favourite Tryster to third, admitted he feared he had gone too soon on Real Steel.
“I had a tough trip early on as I was caught three deep,” said Moore.
“I managed to get cover around the turn but I had to send him on sooner than I’d have liked.
“It was a good effort. He had a tough trip as he was drawn out wide, but he’s never run a bad race and is a very brave horse.
“He had to do it the hard way, but he had more quality than the others. Where he goes now is up to connections. So far as I was concerned today was the plan.”
Botti thrilled with Charline
Once again, Euro Charline put in a fantastic display in a Group 1 for owners Team Valor and her trainer Marco Botti paid tribute to the mare.
“She ran a big race,” he said. “It went to plan.
“I said to Frankie [Dettori] it should be a strong pace. She settled midfield and picked up well. She ran her heart out.
“We entered her for Hong Kong but we will take her home and see how she comes out of the races. I would be inclined to say wait for Royal Ascot but we will see what Team Valor want to do.”
Not to be for Tryster
Godolphin’s Tryster appeared unsuited by the even gallop set by early leaders Ghaamer and Very Special, as he was settled at the rear of the field by William Buick.
He made headway towards the centre of the course on straightening but was already some five lengths down on the eventual winner with two furlongs to run.
It was too much for him to overcome, as the Charlie Appleby-trained five-year-old tired in the closing stages.
William Buick had no excuses and said: “That’s how he runs his races and I thought he was great. They went hard all of the way and it rode like a very good race.
“I don’t think he’s ever been as fast as that in his life. It lost a bit of quality without Solow, but it was competitive and I was absolutely delighted with him.”

BUFFERING TOO CLASSY IN AL QUOZ
Buffering (AUS) might have been the first Australian horse to take part at the Dubai World Cup meeting since 2012 but he ran out a decisive winner of the Al Quoz Sprint sponsored by Meydan Hotels and Hospitality.
Three-quarters of a length separated Buffering from local favourite Ertijaal (IRE) and Peniaphobia (IRE), the Hong Kong Sprint champion. The time was slick at 56.34 seconds, fractionally outside the race record, and make no mistake this was strong form.
“I don’t know if I have the vocabulary to describe it but I think a coldie (drink) is going to taste pretty good pretty soon!” smiled the ebullient winning trainer Robert Heathcote.
“He’s not necessarily the fastest horse in the world, but, gee, he is tough. I knew he would be hard to beat once I saw Damian (Browne, jockey) sitting motionless on him halfway up the straight. He has beaten some brilliant horses tidily in the end.”
Buffering is the second winner of the Al Quoz Sprint since Ortensia landed the race four years ago. Australian horses have long been regarded as superior sprinters and this latest victory on the greatest stage of all only confirms that impression.
Indeed, Heathcote was left to muse on what his eight-year-old veteran might have achieved had he not mixed it with some of the country’s greatest ever speedsters.
“It took him 18 attempts to win a Group 1 but now he has won seven of them in his last 13 tries. He’s such a popular horse back home. I think it is part of our Aussie psyche as he was an underdog for so long. He has raced against the likes of Black Caviar, Hay List and Sepoy but now he has shown that he is a pretty good horse himself,” Heathcote added.
“He has taken on the best in the world today and I’m just damn proud of him. He has run a time which is a career best for him and he has done it at the age of eight.”
Jockey Browne has been Buffering’s partner for all of his major wins and shook his head in admiration as he returned to weigh in.
“He’s such a warrior. He’s getting better with age,” he remarked.
“I was worried beforehand that a couple of the others would be a bit slick for him over the 1000m but he was able to jump well and be right up there. From there I knew he would be strong at the finish as 1200m is probably his optimum distance.”
Buffering continues on his travels in the immediate future. He will next to go to Hong Kong for the Group 1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize on May 1.
Heathcote concluded: “After that we will think about going to Ascot to shake hands with the Queen. The King’s Stand Stakes looks the likeliest option at this stage.”

MUARRAB PREVAILS IN SHAHEEN THRILLER
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Muarrab (GB) battled with American raider X Y Jet (USA) down much of the Meydan stretch in a duel for the ages in the $2m Dubai Golden Shaheen sponsored by Gulf News.
Both horses gave their all and ran winning races, with the final margin of victory a neck.
“Those last 200m felt like a long way, to be honest,” said winning jockey Paul Hanagan. “Every time I kind of got his head in front, the second horse kept battling back with me.
“When it’s like that, it’s too close for comfort. But I knew my horse is so genuine and tough that he would give his all for me, which he did.”
As soon as the gates opened in the 1200m Dubai Golden Shaheen, the race was on between Muarrab and X Y Jet, who were joined at the head of the 10-horse field early by Rich Tapestry (IRE), who broke alertly from his rail post position.
Those three blazed through the first 800m before Rich Tapestry began to fade out of the picture, leaving Muarrab on the outside and X Y Jet to his inside to slug it out while bobbing heads down the stretch.
Finishing three and three-quarter lengths further back in third was Morawij (GB), with 2013 Dubai Golden Shaheen winner Reynaldothewizard (USA) fourth.
Sheikh Hamdan greeted Muarrab, who had won the Group 3 Mahab Al Shimaal as his prep, in the winner’s circle and gently grasped the seven-year-old gelding’s left ear to celebrate.
Trainer Musabah Al Muhairi grinned widely as he led Muarrab into the parade ring.
“I am not surprised,” Muhairi said. “This horse just gets better.”
Trainer Jorge Navarro also praised his charge X Y Jet, greeting him after the race by kissing his face. Navarro suggested there may be a rematch in 2017.

Godolphin Mile G2: Subito una sorpresa a Meydan. Il Mile sul dirt lo vince il veterano One Man Band (Pivotal), 5 anni, autore di una corsa da protagonista sin dalle prime fasi, che non ha consetito alcun recupero dalle retrovie. Il cavallo di Doug Watson, di proprietà di Sheikh Saeed Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum. aveva in sella Sam Hitchcott e qui a Meydan ha ottenuto 8 delle 9 vittorie in carriera. Mai un fattore Marking (Bernardini), spesosi molto dal punto di vista energetico prima della corsa. Per Doug Watson è stato un 1-2-3 d’autore grazie anche a Faulkner (Pivotal) e Cool Cowboy (Kodiak Kowboy), giunti alle piazze. Quinto Frankie con Sloane Avenue. La notte si è aperta con una certezza: Sul sabbione è necessario partire bene e rimanere sui primi. Dagli abissi non si guadagna. Tempo buonissimo di 1:35:21. IL VIDEO DELLA CORSA QUI.
UAE DERBY G2: La conferma ufficiale che il Giappone ha una generazione di 3 anni mica male, anzi sopra la media, è arrivata dalla vittoria di Lani (Tapit) nel Derby degli Emirati Arabi Uniti. Con in sella Yutaka Take, il cavallo allenato da Mikio Matsunaga per i colori di Yoko Maeda aveva proprio idea di partire da Meydan per preparare un summit verso il Kentucky Derby e guadagnare i 100 punti necessari sulla strada verso Churchill Downs. Operazione riuscita per il grigio che in patria aveva già vinto due volte sul dirt, steccando le altre per evenienze esterne come terreno “muddy” o andature non ideali. Qua ha trovato ritmo, una schiena come Yu Change (Swift Current) sulla quale posizionare il mirino, e concludere con 3/4 di lunghezza su Polar River (Congrats), la grande favorita, che ad un certo sembrava out dalle piazze ma è invece tornata veemente a difendere la posizione di migliore femmina del lotto. Lani è un grigio prodotto della fattrice Heavenly Romance (Sunday Silence), vincitrice di Tenno Sho G1 nel 2005, che adesso potrà stare tranquillamente in poltrona ad aspettare il Derby americano, senza passare per altri trial. IL VIDEO DELLA CORSA QUI. Il tempo finale è stato di 1m 58.41s (slow by 1.91s).

Classy Vazirabad delivers in Dubai Gold Cup
Report: Dubai, Saturday - Meydan: Dubai Gold Cup sponsored by Al Tayer Motors (Group 2) 2m, turf, 4yo+
VAZIRABAD underlined his credentials as one the of the world’s leading stayers when delivering a classy performance to capture the Dubai Gold Cup.
RELATED LINKS Result
The Aga Khan’s homebred was patiently ridden by Christophe Soumillon, who timed his challenge to perfection to deny the Michael Bell-trained Big Orange.
Trained by Alain de Royer-Dupre, Vazirabad emerged as a stayer of some potential last season when his five-race winning streak included the Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak.
The son of Manduro was cut to 8-1 (from 12) with Paddy Power for the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, but connections may not go down that route.
“He hasn’t had a prep race so I asked Christophe to respect the horse,” said the winning trainer, bagging himself another big World Cup night prize following Dolniya’s Dubai Sheema Classic success 12 months ago.
He added: “He isn’t very quick at the start but he has a turn of foot. The second is a good horse too. I don’t know if we will stay at the distance because he could be perfect for the 12-furlong races, the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, because I know he is something special.”
Orange does Bell proud
Big Orange, the mount of Jamie Spencer, was conceding 6lb to Vazirabad and his trainer Michael Bell was thrilled with the effort.
He said: “The winner is a very good horse, give him credit, but Jamie rode a very good race. The favourite has had to run a really big race to beat us, he’s pulled out all the stops.
“I don’t know what weight Soumillon did today but he had to give him some weight, so it was a really good run. I’m very proud of the horse.”

1-2-3 for Watson as One Man Band stars in Mile
Report: Dubai, Saturday - Meydan: Godolphin Mile sponsored by Meydan Sobha (Group 2) 1m, 4yo+ dirt
A BIG day for Doug Watson started in the best possible way when One Man Band led home a 1-2-3 for the trainer in the Godolphin Mile, the opening race of Dubai World Cup night at Meydan on Saturday.
RELATED LINKS Result
The Dubai-based American is due to saddle hot favourite Polar River in the UAE Derby on Meydan’s card and any nerves he had will have been steadied by One Man Band, who produced an amazing performance from the front under Sam Hitchcott.
Horses ridden prominently have done well on Meydan’s dirt track recently and nothing looked like catching the 11-2 winner, who was chased home by stablemates Faulkner and Cool Cowboy.
The result provides Hitchcott with the biggest win of his career and the jockey described the five-year-old as the “most straightforward ride you could get”.
He added: “He jumps and travels so good and gets the others at it when it matters. You can fill him up at that point. He then kicks off the turn and goes again.
“It’s a good team effort and brilliant for Doug.”
Sam’s the man
Watson also paid tribute to his staff and said: “Unbelievable. We’ve got a great team at home and we’re very fortunate.
“Sam’s a great guy. He’s an integral part of our team and brings so much to the yard.”
Watson, like Hitchcott, was celebrating his first winner on Meydan’s greatest stage and added: “It’s an amazing feeling and I don’t think it will sink in for a while.”
Leading fancy Marking failed to fire and was fourth, one place in front of the Jeremy Noseda-trained Sloane Avenue.

Doug Watson could not cap a dream day as Polar River went down to Lani, who could become a rare Japanese runner in the Kentucky Derby.
Sent off the 8-13 favourite, Polar River met trouble in running, but may not have pegged back Lani, whose connections are keen on a crack at America’s most prestigious race.
Ski Captain was 14th behind Thunder Gulch in 1995 Kentucky Derby for Japan, which was winning the UAE Derby for the first time and striking another blow for the country on World Cup night after major victories for Gentildonna and Just A Way in recent years.
Lani, a grey son of Tapit, is trained by Mikio Matsunaga and was ridden by star jockey Yutaka Take. He was given a quote of 33-1 for the Kentucky Derby by Paddy Power.
