UAE Derby

Over 50,000 spectators from around the world congregated at Nad al Sheba Racecourse in Dubai for the seventh running of the Dubai World Cup, the world's richest horse race and the world's richest day of racing. $2.7 million was wagered in North A me rica alone on the last four races on the card, an increase of 36.7% over the previous year, further demonstrating the increasing importance and popularity of the World Cup. Despite the unusually low turnout of A me rican runners this year, the racing was still very competitive with a few surprises such as Val Royal's sound defeat in the Duty Free and Sakhee's dismissal by stablemate Street Cry. For races not listed below.
