Correct, Moir Stakes, by Baraqiel, a little bit more than a nose. It is hard to know how a horse might go in Aus. Roch 'N' Horse ran 2nd in a Telegraph, then went over and won the Newmarket and Champions Sprint (both G1) beating Nature Sprint -

Friday, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, post time: 20:25, AL MAKTOUM CHALLENGE-G1, AED3,680,000, 4yo/up & SH 3yo, 1900m Field: Walk Of Stars (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Imperial Emperor (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Heart of Honor (GB) (Honor A. P.), Tumbarumba (Oscar Performance), Artorious (Arrogate), Remorse (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Kabirkhan (Calilfornia Chrome), Killer Collect (Collected), Masmak (Vino Rosso). TDN Analysis: Walk Of Stars held Imperial Emperor to second in last year's edition for trainer Bhupat Seemar who saddles six here. Those two both step forward again, while Seemar stablemate Kabirkhan exploded to a 4 3/4-length victory here in 2024, and is another gunning to reclaim his title. Imperial Emperor warmed up for Friday's challenge with an easy victory in the G2 Al Maktoum Mile on Festive Friday. Heart Of Honor is best known for the Meydan races he didn't win, but the multiple group-placed gelding rattled home a winner in the Listed The Entisar over Artorius in December and the four-year-old could be coming into his own. Tumbarumba, a Grade III hero in the U.S. is making his second start at Meydan. Friday, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, post time: 21:00, JEBEL HATTA-G1, AED1,850,000, 4yo/up & SH 3yo, 1800mT Field: Opera Ballo (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), Nations Pride (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), Holloway Boy (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}), Silawi (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Midak (Fr) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), Vafortino (Ire) (New Bay {GB}). TDN Analysis: It is difficult to see beyond Opera Ballo and Nations Pride in the Jebel Hatta, as that duo ran one-two for Godolphin in the G2 Al Rashidiya in December and it was over eight lengths back to third-place finisher First Conquest (Teofilo) in third. Holloway Boy, third in this to Romantic Warrior (Acclamation) in 2025, won a listed race at Kempton in December, but was only fifth to Quddwah (Kingman) in the G2 Zabeel Mile the day after New Year's Day. The GI Canadian International Stakes was Silawi's in October, and, although he ran unplaced in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf, the six-year-old gelding could cause the upset on Friday. Friday, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, post time: 19:50, BLUE POINT SPRINT-G2, AED850,000, 3yo/up, 1000mT Field: West Acre (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Cover Up (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), Democracy Dilemma (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}), Spartan Arrow (Ire) (Sioux Nation), Tawalla (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Logo Hunter (Ire) (Brazen Beau {Aus}), Ponntos (Ire) (Power {GB}), Echo Point (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Swift Asset (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}), The Man (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Hilitany (GB) (Ubettabelieveit {Ire}). TDN Analysis: West Acre romped in the 2025 edition of this race, with Ponntos second and Cover Up third. However, he hasn't found the winner's circle since. Friday is his 2026 UAE bow. Cover Up triumphed in the Listed Ertijaal Dubai Dash prepping for this contest. Spartan Arrow bested West Acre going 1000 metres at Dundalk in October. Friday, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, post time: 18:40, AL FAHIDI FORT-G2, AED850,000, 4yo/up & SH 3yo, 1400mT Field: Witness Stand (GB) (Expert Eye {GB}), Marbaan (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Mysterious Night (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Lethal Levi (GB) (Lethal Force {Ire}), Shootout (Ire) (Areion {Ger}), Audience (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), Chicago Critic (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Apollo One (GB) (Equiano {Fr}), Tumbler (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), Yaroogh (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Elnajmm (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Khanjar (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Andreas Vesalius (Ire) (Caravaggio), Hougquetot (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Mountbatten (Ire) (Dabirsim {Fr}). TDN Analysis: Mysterious Night, a winner of the GI Summer Stakes back in 2022, captured the 2024 edition of this contest and was second last year to the re-opposing Marbaan. Khanjar split that duo in the Listed Business Bay Challenge on Festive Friday last month. Group 1 winner Audience came home third in the G2 Zabeel Mile earlier this month and the shorter trip could do the trick for the seven-year-old. Successful in the G3 Sprint Trophy over this distance at Cologne in September, Shootout brings German form to the table on Friday. Friday, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, post time: 22:10, AL KHAIL TROPHY-G3, AED700,000, 2810mT Field: Meydaan (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Epic Poet (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Sunway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}), Goya Senora (Fr) (Anodin {Ire}), West Wind Blows (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), Real Ream (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Kihavah (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}), Nightwalker (GB) (Frankel {GB}). TDN Analysis: Meydaan prevailed in good style trying this course and distance on January 2 with the re-opposing third Nightwalker set to test him once again. A multiple group winner in France and placed at Group 1 level in Europe and Australia, West Wind Blows turns his sights to Meydan. Second in a Kempton listed race after almost two years away from the races in November, he proved he still held his old spark when taking the Listed Prix Arcangues at Deauville by 1 1/2 lengths on December 23. 2025 G2 Dubai Gold Cup third Epic Poet returns to Meydan, with his most recent effort a second-place run in rallying fashion in the G3 Geoffrey Freer Stakes in August. Friday, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, post time: 18:05, FIREBREAK STAKES-G3, AED700,000, 4yo/up & SH 3yo, 1600m Field: Fort Payne (Fr) (Rio De La Plata), Commissioner King (Commissioner), Mendelssohn Bay (Mendelssohn), Meshtri (Medaglia d'Oro), Crown Board (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Hypnus (Into Mischief), Made In Dubai (More Than Ready). TDN Analysis: Second to Al Maktoum Challenge entry Imperial Emperor (Dubawi) in the G2 Al Maktoum Mile in December, Commissioner King is hoping to find the competition more to his liking in this class drop. Listed hero Mendelssohn Bay, third that day, returns as well. Hypnus makes his Meydan debut after running second in a 1000-metre trial over this surface earlier this month. Also making his first start in the desert is Crown Board, who exits a Chelmsford handicap with a win over this trip in December. Friday, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, post time: 21:35, UAE 2000 GUINEAS-G3, AED700,000, 3yo, 1600m Field: Legalaized (Arg) (Dabster), Namaguederaz (Uru) (Algorithms), Don Pelicano (Uru) (Midshipman), Six Speed (Not This Time), Devon Island (Practical Joke), Union Security (Maximum Security), Brotherly Love (GB) (Zoustar {Aus}), Lino Padrino (Uncle Lino), Raajehh (Complexity), Rammaas (Speightstown), Duke Of Immatin (Gun Runner), Yasup (Yaupon), Awesome Fleet (US Navy Flag), Senator Of State (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Al Khawaneej (Honest Mischief), Yamdeek (Yaupon). TDN Analysis: Two-for-three after claiming conditions races over 1200m and 1400m over the winter, Six Speed looks tough for his 15 rivals on Friday. Trying 1600 metres for the first time, he clashes with Brotherly Love, a half-brother to Heart Of Honor (Honor A. P.). Devon Island holds the same record as Six Speed and defeated Brotherly Love in November and December over the 2000 Guineas distance. Raajehh scampered home an easy winner of a 1200-metre conditions race here in December. Senator Of State already sports a tally over this trip at Dundalk, but will be making his Meydan debut. Friday, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, post time: 19:15, AL SHINDAGHA SPRINT-G3, AED700,000, 3yo/up, 1200m Field: Dark Saffron (Flameaway), El Nasseeb (GB) (Profitable {Ire}), Mufasa (Chi) (Practical Joke), Drew's Gold (Violence), Morning (Munnings), Colour Up (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}). TDN Analysis: El Nasseeb is riding a three-race UAE winning streak, with his latest success a victory over Mufasa and Colour Up in the G3 Dubawi Stakes over track and trip on January 2. Drew's Gold defeated Echo Point in a 1200-metre handicap here in mid-December. A winner of the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen last April, Dark Saffron is searching for redemption. The four-year-old gelding won a conditions affair here in November, but has been soundly beaten by El Nasseeb in his last two appearances. Sunday, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, post time: 15:00, CENTENARY SPRINT CUP-G1, HK$13,000,000, 3yo/up, 1200mT Field: Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress {NZ}), Helios Express (Aus) (Toronado {Ire}), Fast Network (NZ) (Wrote {Ire}), Raging Blizzard (NZ) (Per Incanto), Tomodachi Kokoroe (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}), Beauty Waves (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Lucky With You (Aus) (Artie Schiller). TDN Analysis: Ka Ying Rising will attempt to make history and equal Hong Kong legend Silent Witness's record of 17 wins in a row by a Hong Kong-trained horse. A surprise here is not impossible, but Helios Express needs to find 12 pounds via international ratings. Sunday, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, post time: 16:05, STEWARDS' CUP-G1, HK$13,000,000, 3yo/up, 1600mT Field: Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Voyage Bubble (Aus) (Deep Field {Aus}), Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}), Beauty Joy (Aus) (Sebring {Aus}), Red Lion (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}), Galaxy Patch (Aus) (Wandjina {Aus}), Straight Arron (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), My Wish (Aus) (Flying Artie {Aus}), Sunlight Power (Aus) (Capitalist {Aus}). TDN Analysis: It is difficult to look beyond Hong Kong heavyweights Romantic Warrior and Voyage Bubble in Sunday's Stewards' Cup. The former holds top-level form in four countries and is running in his first 1600-metre race since claiming Japan's G1 Yasuda Kinen in 2024. The latter has won two editions of the Stewards' Cup in 2024/2025. Click here for the complete fields.
