UAE Derby winner Toast Of New York (Thewayyouare) returns from two years at stud in Doha for a tilt at the $16 million Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park in Florida on Saturday.
Frankie – looking for a win
The now 6yo colt ran a close second to Bayern in the Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2014, with champion California Chrome a neck behind in third. Following his Breeders Cup run, he was purchased by Sheikh Joaan Al Thani’s Al Shaqab Racing for the 2015 Dubai World Cup. Injured ahead of the race, he was retired to stud. But there are few broodmares in Qatar and a year ago Toast Of New York returned to racing under Jamie Osborne.
With just one run under the belt, he will take on 11 rivals in the Pegasus World Cup on Saturday. Frankie Dettori returns to ride him – for the first time in 19 years after partnering Daylami to win the 1999 Breeders’ Cup Turf at the same track.
