Formidable duo aim to capture £5.33m premier horse race
It’s a combination to put the fear of God into any opposition — jockey Frankie Dettori and trainer Bob Baffert. The duo will team up on Saturday aiming to capture the £5.33m first prize in the Dubai World Cup.
Irad Ortiz Jnr, who rides the favourite Life Is Good, will have ridden against Dettori on many occasions and will know he is tough to beat. However, he may feel he is on the better horse — most people would agree the four-year-old is a worthy market leader. It seemed the most sensible move with the race worth £2.22m to the winner, but it would appear that Real World’s owners, Godolphin, want to have a go at the bigger prize.
Another American challenger is Midnight Bourbon, who represents the stable of former top jockey Cash Asmussen. Jose L Ortiz has been booked for the ride. With Mcebisi scratched, the main threat to Sean Tarry’s runner may come from Brett Crawford’s raider Chasing Mavericks.
