Pat Cummings @DubaiRaceNight · Mar 20 2015 Just confirming for all to know - Ron The Greek will run AS Ron The Greek in the World Cup, not his Saudi-only name of Wattani.
Pat Cummings @DubaiRaceNight tweets Sunday Feb. 15 2015 Here is the replay of Ron The Greek (Wattani) winning the big race - spill at 1:47 ICYMI, Ron The Greek won the King Abdullah Cup (G1) in spill marred race - video attached FYI-race call is not in Englsh. Gone Dutch with Soumillon was second, Fly Solo third for Peslier, Sairoor fourth for Barzalona, all behind Ron The Greek. Soumillon riding in his second G1 of last 24 hours - was 2nd on Gone Dutch in King Abdullah Cup in Saudi about 14 hours ago.
Pat Cummings @DubaiRaceNight tweets Sunday Feb. 15 2015 Oh NO, massive spill in the King's Cup Jockeys involved in spill were Eddie Castro, Alan Garcia, Frankie Dettori, Alexis Moreno, Alonso Quinonez, A Alazhari, Mohammed Saeed
Follow-up from Saudi's King Abdullah Cup - hearing Eddie Castro ended up with hairline crack in vertebra, Mohammed Saeed with 2 frac'd verts
Clarifying previous tweet, Frankie Dettori's mount was impacted by the spill, but he did not lose the partnership, eased his mount.
Apparently three horses did not survive their injuries from the race, one was King of the Danes (FYI-this was horse Eddie Castro was riding. Horse took bad step, went down)

Dubai World Cup Carnival Thursday January 8, 2015 will start the Dubai World Cup Carnival, a series of 11 highly-competitive race meetings that annually attract the world’s best horses, jockeys and trainers to Meydan. The finale of the Dubai World Cup Carnival is the Dubai World Cup, sponsored by Emirates Airline, to be held on March 28, 2015. This is the world’s richest race meeting, and will feature nine high-class races highlighted by the US$10 million Dubai World Cup. Held three weeks before Dubai World Cup day will be the Emirates Airline-sponsored Super Saturday on March 7. This is a stand-out race meeting in its own right and is traditionally regarded as the dress rehearsal for the Dubai World Cup. Horses can often earn a coveted entry into a race on Dubai World Cup night after a good performance on Super Saturday. Its timing allows trainers to put the finishing touches to their equine stars before they take to racing’s biggest stage on Dubai World Cup day. Since its inception the Dubai World Cup Carnival has served as a truly pioneering festival and has successfully attracted the brightest stars of the international racing scene including, Great Britain, the United States of America, Japan, France, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Australia and Hong Kong to name a few. http://www.dubaiworldcup.com/visit/racing-season/dubai-world-cup-carnival

Keta Note: Art Sherman's Workout Plan for Dubai-Ship date March 17 California Chrome works for Dubai Jeremy Balan | Bloodhorse Updated: February 27, 2015 From article: Sherman said the California-bred 4-year-old owned by Steve Coburn and Perry Martin will continue to work locally until he ships to Dubai March 17. Then he'll get a breeze over Meydan Racecourse's main track in preparation for the $10 million World Cup March 28. "We'll blow him out [after he arrives in Dubai]," Sherman said. "It won't be too long. Probably a half-mile to get him ready."
Here's your American-based Dubai sprinter: Secret Circle
"SECRET CIRCLE is bound for the the $2 million Golden Shaheen in Dubai, trainer Bob Baffert said after Secret Circle worked six furlongs in 1:12.60 this morning at Santa Anita.
Secret Circle finished second in the Palos Verdes Handicap in January in his last start. His biggest win to date came in the 2013 Breeders' Cup Sprint. He was second in last year's Breeders' Cup Sprint.
Based on the prospective field for the Golden Shaheen, Secret Circle should be favored."
Dont think Baffert has been in Dubai since Captain Steve
Trainer Bob Baffert said that HOPPERTUNITY, once considered for the Dubai World Cup, would instead remain stateside, get a brief freshening, and not race again until May.
"I'm trying to save horses like him and Bayern for the summer and fall, the championship season," Baffert said."
Guess we can kick the bucket on SB and Bayern meeting up again anytime soon.
