Dubai World Cup results are here!

The Dubai World Cup (G1) with a purse of $10 million will be run on Saturday night at the Meydan Racecourse in Dubai. On Wednesday night at the Meydan IMAX Theatre, post positions were drawn for the main event and the two Group 1 turf races immediately preceding it on the card, the Dubai Duty Free and the Dubai Sheema Classic. A field of 13 made final entry for the world's richest horse race, contested at 2000 meters (about 1 1/4 miles) over the Tapeta synthetic track.

The Dubai World Cup draw involved randomly drawn envelopes out of a bowl, and then the horse's connections pick up a door statue depicting their silks, and place it on the post position number they want.

Top local hope Hunter's Light is the 7-2 morning line favorite out of post 4, who comes to the Dubai World Cup off wins in rounds 2 and 3 of the Maktoum Challenge. Regular rider Silvestre De Sousa will be aboard the Godolphin runner for trainer Saeed bin Suroor. Second on the morning line is two-time Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic winner Royal Delta out of the 8 hole at 4-1. In her lone prep for the World Cup she romped in the Sabin Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park. Mike Smith gets the return call for trainer Bill Mott and owner Benjamin Leon. 5-1 third choice Animal Kingdom drew post 12. The 2011 Kentucky Derby winner comes here off two straight runner-up finishes, in the Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) and the Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap (G1). Joel Rosario will be in the irons for trainer Graham Motion and owners Arrowfield Stud and Team Valor.

Bill Mott, trainer of Royal Delta said, "I just decided to take one outside of 7, last year we were 7. The filly did well coming into the race last year but we didn't have the easiest of trips, so we decided to come back right then and there. She is bigger and stronger this year." Graham Motion, trainer of Animal Kingdom said, "To tell the truth I was glad 1, 2 and 3 were already taken, I talked to (injured regular rider) Ramon Dominguez and he said that we wouldn't want to see him caught on the inside. Hopefully Joel Rosario will have him in a good spot. Our tactics won't change and he's capable of coming from off of it if he has to. After all we won the Derby from post 16."

The Dubai World Cup undercard features the two richest turf races in the world, the 2410 meter (about 1 1/2 mile) Sheema Classic (G1) and the 1800 meter (about 1 1/8 mile) Duty Free (G1), worth $5 million each. In the Sheema Classic, Japanese Horse of the Year, Filly Triple Crown winner, and Japan Cup winner Gentildonna takes on 2011 Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden and 2012 Coronation Cup winner St Nicholas Abbey. In the Duty Free, Breeders' Cup Turf winner Little Mike will face New Zealand hero Ocean Park and France's Giofra. Top dirt/synthetic sprinters go 1200 meters (6 furlongs) in the $2 million Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1), with U.S. champion sprinter Trinniberg taking on top locals Krypton Factor and Mental. The $1 million Al Quoz Sprint (G1) features turf sprinters going 1000 meters (5 furlongs) on the straightaway.

Along with the four Group 1 events, there are 2 Group 2 events and a Group 3 race carded. The $2 million UAE Derby (G2) features northern hemisphere 3-year-olds and southern hemisphere 4-year-olds going 1900 meters (1 3/16 miles) on the main Tapeta, worth 100 points to the winner under the Road to the Kentucky Derby. Doug O'Neill sends out He's Had Enough to try to earn a trip to Louisville, against UAE Oaks winner Shuruq. The night starts off with the $500,000 Dubai Kahayla Classic (G1) for purebred Arabians, followed by the $1 million Godolphin Mile (G2) at 1600 meters (1 mile) on Tapeta and the $1 million Dubai Gold Cup (G3) at 3200 meters (2 miles) on turf.
