Ruler of
The World, last year's Epsom Derby (England) victor, is the early favorite for
the $10 million Emirates Dubai World Cup today at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai,
UAE. Suffice to say that hats are part
of the spectacle!
The son
of Galileo, who will have his first race of the year, drew post 12 in the
16-horse field, the same berth from which Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom
started en route to winning last year. He is tabbed as the 9-2 favorite on the
morning line in the United States.
Ruler of
The World had a 3-1-1 record from seven starts last season including his Derby
win, and his campaign was capped by a third-place finish in the QIPCO Champion
Stakes at Ascot. He arrived in Dubai March 26 and will clear quarantine March
28.
Ron the
Greek, who now races in Saudi Arabia, drew terribly in the far outside post. He
is 5-1 second choice on the U.S. morning line.
The
Dubai World Cup card of eight Thoroughbred stakes will broadcast live by HRTV,
beginning at 9 a.m. ET. Post time for the first Thoroughbred stakes, the $1
million Godolphin Mile is 9:10 a.m. Post time for the Dubai World Cup is
approximately 2:05 p.m. and can be seen from 1:00 to 2:30 pm on Fox Sports 1.
British-based
globetrotter Red Cadeaux, was a fast-flying second last year, two lengths
behind Animal Kingdom . He will break from post 14.
