One of the richest horse races in the world, the Dubai World Cup, takes place in the United Arab Emirates this weekend.
A bumper prize pot worth $12,000,000 is on offer but only the first four past the post will bag a slice of the cash for connections.
Frankie Dettori, who is set to retire at the end of the season, is bidding to become the most successful jockey in the history of the mega-money contest with a fifth victory and he is back aboard last year’s winner, Country Grammer.
The Dubai World Cup is run over 1m2f on the dirt track at Meydan Racecourse so Irish and British trained winners of the race are a rare breed, although this could be the year as Newmarket-based trainers Simon & Ed Crisford saddle one of the leading fancies in the form of Algiers.
It is the final race of the Dubai World Cup Night and the card boasts other lucrative contests such as the Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic and Group 2 Dubai Gold Cup, which will feature a stack of familiar horses.
You can run the rule over our Dubai World Cup odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
