American Horse Curlin Takes the $6 Million Dubai World Cup
By Claudy Beckford
The American highest ranked colt Curlin has lately made one more outstanding win at the world's wealthiest race in Dubai. The young spawn which was sired by Smart Strike and women Sherriff's Deputy; both of Canadian descent was foaled in March 2004. This four-year old colt is building of the Midnight Cry Stables, Stonestreet Ranch.
After coming from a major win at the Breeders' Cup at the end of 2007; Curlin amazed the auto racing world with an easy victory last Saturday at the Nad Al Sheba race tracks in Dubai. The colt was ridden by Robby Albarado and educated by the famous, veteran people's favourite Steve Asmussen whose training was giving the majority of the credit for the victory achieved by Curlin besides the incredible abilities and potency shown by the steed.
Albarado stated "This is such a fantastic horse and I am honoured to ride such a wonderful creature." "I am just the pilot. They do the job and I simply show up and get all the splendor, all I do is simply hold on to him.
Curlin's fitness instructor Asmussen stated "it is a desire come to life" for his expert career and an individual achievement to be part of the winner's present success and verifies the colt has actually not yet reached its whole potential. Asmussen that is a clear visionary believes the North American tracks will see a lot more of Curlin this year; but for now it was time to come back house and take a well-deserved rest particularly after the 22-hour returning flight.
Among Curlin's eleven rivals were Asiatic Boy (second place) educated by Mike de Kock and American horse Well Armed (3rd place) trained by Irishman Eoin Harty. In fourth place we have A.P. Arrowhead after that Greg Seeker, Lucky Discover and let's not neglect Jalil from the Godolphin stables which was an actual disappointment due to the weak performance adhered to by Gloria De Campeao, Costs Faucet, Guide Yed, Kocab and the Japanese Vermilion.
Curlin's spectacular ran begun well from the beginning while Well Armed led the race in starting point and Asiatic Boy in second position for a lot of the 1 1/4 mile then Albarado made his relocation and the intense brown colour colt cruised via the remaining of the race size establishing a brand-new World Cup document. There was no question which was the best steed.
With this brand-new win Curlin's job earnings summarized $8,807,800 approximately and it relocates right into 3rd placement in the North American horse auto racing list simply behind Stogie and Avoid Away. Some of Curlin's significant auto racing victories have actually been: Rebel Stakes, Arkansas Derby and Jockey Club Gold Cup done in 2007; the American Standards Preakness Stakes and Dog breeders' Cup (2007), American Equine of the Year Award - 2007 and the 2008 Dubai World Cup considered the best achievement up to now.
