Ushba Tesoro produced a outstanding run, coming from the again of the sector below Yuga Kawada, to take the Dubai World Cup for Japan.
When they became for house, James Doyle aboard the Simon and Ed Crisford-trained Algiers seemed the most probably winner and went a period transparent with a furlong and a part to run.
But the enforcing Ushba Tesoro (9-1), who had received 5 of his six begins since being switched to the dust, omitted the kick-back as he rotated the sector and with a blistering flip of foot and ran down Doyle’s mount to win. via two and 3 quarter lengths.
After recording Japan’s 2d luck within the race, following Victoire Pisa in 2011, successful teacher Noboru Takagi mentioned: “I thought he would be in with a chance at the 100-metre mark. Yuga is one of the best riders in Japan, so it was a no-brainer to go with him today. It is an amazing feeling to have won a race like this. We will talk to the owners and decide on his future going forward.”
Last year’s winner Country Grammer never looked like giving Frankie Dettori another famous victory in his last season, on what was the final Dubai ride of his career. “I think it was just a bridge too far,” said Dettori. “He had a hard race in Saudi and left it there. When I pulled him out there wasn’t the usual spark, but what a horse he’s been to me. At least I got one on the night and can go and have a nice cold beer now.”

Dettori and Lord North had earlier completed a Dubai Turf hat-trick when holding off the late challenge of Danon Beluga in another pulsating renewal of the Grade One contest. The Gosden horse reunited with his regular partner and the Italian was always in the ideal stalking position.
For Dettori, it was a moment to savor. “It’s my farewell season and to win this on a horse that has done three years in a row is fantastic,” he mentioned. “He can get unwell simply and he is a seven-year-old gelding, however I used to be that assured I misplaced my whip 300 [yards] out! I’m tremendous satisfied.”
Meanwhile, Equinox justified his status as the best turf horse in the world, smashing the Meydan mile-and-a-half track record in landing the $6m Longines Dubai Sheema Classic. Christophe Lemaire’s mount did it the hard way, his white face leading all the way and stretching to a scintillating three-and-a-half-length victory for the Tetsuya Kimura-trained colt, a son of Japanese sire Kitasan Black.
Lemaire’s charge cruised on the front end, tracked by the John and Thady Gosden-trained Mostahdaf under Jim Crowley. Lemaire always had any move covered, though, and he kicked clear with two furlongs to run and, eased down, lowered the track record by over a second.
Lemaire said: “He is a fantastic horse. He is getting better race after race. Today he was a little bit fresh and keen, but OK, I rode the best horse and I had no fear to make the pace. I am so happy for connections.
Ryan Moore brilliantly timed his horse’s run to perfection as Broome ran down Siskany in an exhilarating end to the Dubai Gold Cup. The Aidan O’Brien-trained seven-year-old has clocked up quite a few air miles on his travels since successful the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot in June. Although next sorties to North America, Ireland, France Japan and Doha had proved fruitless, Moore used to be again on board for the primary time for the reason that gelding’s advantageous fourth at Saratoga in August.
