he $10 million Dubai World Cup (G1) is the world's richest horse race and the highlight of the world's richest day of racing, with $26.25 million in prize money over 8 races. The 15th running was the first to be contested over the synthetic Tapeta track at the new Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, on a warm clear night with temperatures in the 90's. A field of 14 older horses went 2000 meters (about 1 1/4 miles) around two turns of the 1750 meter (about 1 1/8 mile) oval, with 2010 Eclipse Award champion older male and turf horse Gio Ponti sent off as the 3-1 favorite in the international pool, exiting a nose defeat in the Tampa Bay Stakes after finishing second to Zenyatta in the Breeders' Cup Classic.
In to challenge him included 7-2 second choice Gitano Hernando, winner of three straight including the Goodwood last October at Santa Anita and the Winter Derby Trial at Lingfield in February, and 6-1 third choice Red Desire, winner of the Maktoum Challenge Round 3 and attempting to become the first female winner of the World Cup.
I love all horses in the world, but my favorite horse is Dubai millennium because this horse is winner of Dubai world cup 2000......
