Animal Kingdom, Others Ready for Dubai Flight By Michele MacDonald, The Blood-Horse Updated: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 2:22 PM Champions Animal Kingdom, Royal Delta, and Trinniberg lead an eight-horse American delegation set to fly to the United Arab Emirates, leaving Florida at approximately 9 p.m. EDT on March 19, for races on the $27 million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I) program March 30.

HORSE RACING: Animal Kingdom preps for Dubai World Cup By Alex Brown Special to the Whig Posted: Thursday, March 28, 2013 8:50 pm The 2011 Kentucky Derby winner, Animal Kingdom, will be taking on the world this weekend when he competes in the $10 million Dubai World Cup at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, United Arab Emerites. The race will be run on the Tapeta synthetic surface, the same one available to trainers at Fair Hill and one that Animal Kingdom should relish Most recently, Animal Kingdom finished second to leading turf runner Point of Entry in the Gulfstream Park Handicap (Grade 1) in Hallandale Beach, Fla., on Feb. 9. While that result might not have been ideal, many believe that the event was an ideal prep race for this challenge. Animal Kingdom will face 12 others, all of which are Group or Grade 1 performers, in a very deep field, and he is part of a three-horse entry from the United States, which also includes Delaware Handicap winner Royal Delta and synthetic track specialist Dullahan. http://www.cecildaily.com/sports/pros/article_45f16578-980a-11e2-a5b5-001a4bcf887a.html
