Dubai World Cup –the world’s richest race day is barely two weeks away, and all eyes will be on Meydan Racecourse this Thursday as the penultimate meeting of the season gets underway. On the agenda is a seven race card, all on the dirt surface, highlighted by a valuable 1600m handicap, the IPIC Trophy, for which 15 have been declared, including the Doug Watson-trained Active Spirit. This was a return to winning ways for the Red Stables resident who had two impressive wins last season at Meydan, including over course and distance. Stable jockey Pat Dobbs, aboard for both of last season’s victories, takes over in the saddle. The four year old owned by Khalifa Al Nabooda has run well on each of his three local outings, his most recent win coming last year over slightly further, on the all-weather in England. Two other factors make him a key contender, firstly he is well drawn and secondly he has been working on this surface daily. Dane O’Neill, also retained by Sheikh Hamdan, partners Nolohay, one of two in the race for Maria Ritchie, who celebrated her first winner with AF Ssayeb at Abu Dhabi on Sunday. She also saddles Muhtaram under stable jockey, Fernando Jara. The pair seemingly Sheikh Hamdan’s second string from four runners among the nine strong field. “Druids Ridge ran very well over course and distance last time so conditions should suit and he is well drawn,” said Ritchie. “Ajraam won over course and distance in November but lost his way a bit. He seems in good form now though and has a nice draw so should run well.” The trainer also saddles Mutahaddith and Estidraak, first and second over course and distance 12 days ago. O’Shea, aboard the winner on that occasion, switches to Estidraak, the horse that chased him home also owned by Sheikh Hamdan. The owner’s fourth runner is dirt debutant, Greeb, one of two in the field for Watson who also saddles Mathematics, a winner three times this season, once over course and distance. “Mathematics is proven under these conditions but has been done few favours by the draw,” said Watson. “Greeb ran twice at Jebel Ali but has not run on dirt at Meydan before. There is nothing else for him on turf so we will see how he handles the surface.” “He is progressive and perhaps a Carnival prospect for next year,” said assistant trainer, Bhupat Seemar. “An excellent second on his first run for us, he won well last time and is having just his third local outing. We expect him to go very close.” |

Neolithic Confirmed For Dubai World Cup Bid // Neolithic, third last time out in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (G1)
Jack Wolf is realistic, but he is also a sportsman. And the founder and co-managing partner of Starlight Racing knows there is no taking down Goliath if one doesn’t at least show up to the fight.
Wolf confirmed March 7 that Starlight Racing’s Neolithic, third last time out in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (G1), will take another crack at Juddmonte Farms’ champion Arrogate in the $10 million Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline (G1) March 25.
Neolithic earned an invitation to headline event at Meydan Racecourse when he put in an admirable show effort behind Arrogate in the Jan. 28 Pegasus. The 4-year-old son of Harlan’s Holiday was stepping into grade 1 company for the first time and forced the pace early in the 1 1/8-mile test before being bested by Shaman Ghost for runner-up honors.
How any horse goes about dethroning Arrogate if the son of Unbridled’s Song is on his form is not a riddle Wolf claims to have an answer to. What he does have is an improving colt who bounced out of his Pegasus run in sharp order—one who possesses the kind of early speed that has been playing most favorably of late over the main track at Meydan.
“We’re going for it,” Wolf said of the Dubai decision. “I don’t know how we beat Arrogate and a couple of the other horses but we’re going to give it the college try and see what happens. The horse is doing very well, so that’s the number one thing. And number two, our other thought process was the (grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap March 11) and from a purely economical standpoint, it makes more sense to go to Dubai than it does the Big ‘Cap and just getting a piece of it.
“And who knows? That’s the way we’re looking at it. I’m just tickled our horse got invited.”
Trained by Todd Pletcher, Neolithic is slated to ship to Dubai March 14, according to Wolf, and becomes the latest member of an exceptionally strong American-based contingent expected to be World Cup-bound. In addition to Arrogate, grade 1 winners Gun Runner and Hoppertunity are also confirmed for the 1 1/4 mile test.
The Pegasus World Cup marked the seasonal bow for Neolithic and his first start since capturing a 1 1/16-mile allowance race in gate-to-wire fashion by nine lengths at Gulfstream Park last Dec. 14. In his only other try against graded stakes competition, the dark bay colt ran second in the Discovery Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct Racetrack Nov. 12.
“(The Pegasus) was a salty field but our horse was doing very well,” Wolf said. “At the time, you didn’t think he’d be able to beat Arrogate or (2016 Horse of the Year) California Chrome but, for whatever reason, California Chrome didn’t run his race. But I was not surprised our horse ran well.
“You look at Hoppertunity and he’s run well over in Dubai, Gun Runner is going over there. You would think those two would also be favored ahead of us. But you never know what can happen.”
Bred by Edwin Anthony and purchased by Starlight for $460,000 at the 2014 Keeneland September yearling sale, Neolithic has won two of eight starts with $1,109,028 in earnings.
