We rewind to 1997, when Singspiel, owned and bred by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai- won the Dubai World Cup
Katak is thought by his veteran trainer and internationally experienced jockey to possibly be one of the best horses in the country
Blushing Groom sire Rahy, a half-brother to former South African sire Rakeen and champion Singspiel, made his mark as a broodmare sire
While the Dubai World Cup to be run on Saturday for a purse of $10 000 000, is a relatively new race –it was first run in 1996 –it is a race whose winners already include some breed shaping stallions
SARAH WHITELAW: When Fox Hunt won Sunday’s German St Leger he became the second German classic winner produced by Dubawi’s second crop. The stallion’s other German classic winner had previously been Waldpark (Deutsches Derby).
Any ideas for likely riders? Have your say
