The main leaps of the year were successfully completed in Dubai - with a prize pool of US $ 35 million.
Dubai, UAE. At the World Cup in horse racing in Dubai, the most prestigious equestrian competition in the world, a prize fund of US $ 35 million was won the day before.
The main prize and the cup itself went to the representative of the Dubai stable Godolphin - 5-year-old Thunder Snow, who triumphantly performed in the race for the Emirates Airline airline prize (US $ 12 million).
The trainer of the horse is the legendary Said bin Surur, who raised many champions and winners. It is curious that the steed became the winner of the race for the second year in a row. "I always dreamed of winning the World Cup, but it’s hard to believe that we can be the first two years in a row," Said bin Surur said.
In total, 9 races took place as part of the race day at the Meydan Hippodrome:
