DUBAI WORLD CUP NEWS
Victory Moon, the Mike de Kock-trained runner in the US$6,000,000 Dubai World Cup (Gr.I), sponsored by Emirates Airline, worked on the Nad Al Sheba turf track on Friday morning.
The 2003 UAE Derby winner worked over 1,200 metres covering the distance in 1m 15.76s and the final 400 metres in 25.34s. De Kock's recent winner Right Approach, who runs in the US$2,000,000 Dubai Duty Free (Gr.I), worked with his fellow Dubai Duty Free (Gr.I) runner Surveyor.
Surveyor was the winner of the BurJuman Jebel Hatta (Gr.III) over the Dubai Duty Free trip of 1,777 metres on the turf, a race that the de Kock-trained Ipi Tombe won en-route to Dubai Duty Free glory last year.
Right Approach and Surveyor worked over 1,000 metres on the turf in a time of 1m 04.55 second and 24.04s for the last 200 metres. De Kock's final horse on the turf was Lundy's Liability who runs in the US$2,000,000 UAE Derby (Gr.II). The three-year-old colt worked over1,200 metres in 1m 19.73s and the last 400 metres in 24.20s.
The impressive looking Pleasantly Perfect, Richard Mandella's Dubai World Cup (Gr.I) hope, had a steady canter on the Nad Al Sheba main track. Mandella is due to arrive in Dubai on Saturday and will watch his Breeders' Cup Classic (Gr.I) winner work at just after 6.00am on Saturday morning.
Kenneth McPeek's Hard Buck, a runner in the US$2,000,000 Dubai Sheema Classic (Gr.I) over 2,400 metres on the turf, had a steady canter on the main track. Hard Buck, a recent Grade One winner at Gulfstream Park, is scheduled to work on Saturday morning and will have Seb Sanders in the saddle.
Dubai World Cup challenger Domestic Dispute, trained by Patrick Gallagher, came out to the main Nad Al Sheba track for the first time on Friday morning and had a quiet canter.
Other Dubai World Cup (Gr.I) runners out on the main track on Friday morning included the Turkish challenger Dinyeper, Bobby Frankel's Donn Handicap (Gr.I) winner Medaglia D'Oro and the Doug O'Neill-trained Japan Cup Dirt (Gr.I) winner Fleetstreet Dancer.
