What the Nation is saying about the 2012 Dubai Gold Cup (G3)...

Sorry to ask but im a little bit confused - 2 miles equals more than 3000m? Am I right or not? In case I am, pretty long distance..
  • Northport · The Gold Cup is run at 3200 metres which is just under 2 miles. It is a race for stayers, which is why it is long. Most races that end in 'Gold Cup' are long distances races (Ascot Gold Cup, Dubai Gold Cup, Hennessy Gold Cup), or started out at long distances (ie. Jockey Club Gold Cup) · 64 days ago ·

This race ended up marring what was otherwise an outstanding night of racing from Meydan on Dubai World Cup night. Hard to believe that from this one race we lost Fox Hunt, who I felt like was the most rapidly improving stayer in all of Europe. Then during the rerun, both Grand Vent and Bronze Cannon, both talented horses in their right, both suffered broken legs and had to be put down. As a fan of thoroughbred racing for over 30 years, a situation like this sort of leaves you at a loss for words. Makes you wonder if it was more than just a coincidence that 3 different horses suffered broken legs which ended up being fatal to all to 3.

OPINION POLL capped a fine evening for Godolphin after he landed the rescheduled Dubai Gold Cup under Frankie Dettori. Officials moved the race to the end of the World Cup card following Fox Hunt's fatal injury when the event was first staged earlier in the day. But the re-run was also marred by dea...Read More

  • ruhlmann · AS AN OWNER YOU HAVE THE CHOICE NOT TO RUN YOUR HORSE. I guess Meydan racing officials did not plan for something like this was to happen. They made the mistake of running the race again & it was a costly mistake. Hopefully they will learn this & it will never happen again. · 418 days ago ·

Hello to all from Dubai. Normally, we are quick to put together post-race thoughts on the full gamut of activity from the 2012 Dubai World Cup, but given the emotionally charged nature of the day, both powerful and challenging, we thought it best to let our thoughts settle for some time. We do not v...Read More
They shouldnt have re run this race. 2 horses broke down and many could barely finish.
Anyone know who is going to show the 2nd take?
Fox hunt went down, race called off. Just while Horse Racing is being kicked in the arse already for safety. And Meydan is safer than Saratoga!

 Dubai Gold Cup called a no contest after a bad spill involving Godolphin's Fox Hunt. 
Am I excited about the Dubai World Cup card? Let me answer it this way ... The eight big races carry a combined purse of $27 million. I say this with my pinkie finger devilishly pointing to the corner of mouth. While the really big money is not available to us, the great card does provide many inter...Read More
