Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 2 hours ago Journalists Posted 2 hours ago Reigning Japanese Horse of the Year Forever Young (Real Steel) is one of nine horses declared for the $12-million G1 Dubai World Cup at Meydan on March 28. Several horses originally pointing toward the meeting have opted to skip it for different targets as the conflict in Iran has escalated. Yoshito Yahagi's star is joined by 2025 winner Hit Show (Candy Ride), Grade II winner Magnitude (Not This Time), and fellow top level winners Walk Of Stars (Dubawi) and Imperial Emperor (Dubawi). For the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic, Calandagan (Gleneagles) anchors the seven possible runners, having last won the G1 Japan Cup. Both nine-time Group/Grade 1 winner Rebel's Romance (Dubawi) and Ethical Diamond (Awtaad) are also signed on. Top flight winners set for the G1 Dubai Turf include multiple Group 1 winner Ombudsman (Night Of Thunder), as well as Queen Anne Stakes hero Docklands (Massaat) and the 2024 winner Facteur Cheval (Ribchester). The 2025 GI Breeders' Cup Sprint victor Bentornato (Valiant Minister) faces Tuz (Oxbow), in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen, with the latter taking the 2024 edition. In the G1 Al Quoz Sprint, Lazzat (Territories) and Khaadem (Dark Angel) square off. “We are delighted to see horses from so many different countries here for this landmark 30th Dubai World Cup meeting,” said Erwan Charpy, head of department, racing operations & international relations, for Dubai Racing Club. “To have so many defending and former champions, including Hit Show, Rebel's Romance, Tuz, Forever Young and Dark Saffron back here is also very pleasing. We thank everyone for their support and wish them the best of luck on the big day.” The first post for next Saturday's $30.5-million card begins at 3:45 p.m., UAE time.
