Mahmood Al Zarooni maps out a plan for the Dubai World Cup Carnival 2012
Mahmood Al Zarooni is one of those star trainers who had eight winners in the last year’s Dubai World Cup Carnival at Meydan Racecourse.
The Al Rashidiya Trial for the Meydan Masters International Jockeys’ Challenge will see, Sea Lord, riding with Frankie Dettori, and, Laajooj, racing under jockey Mickael Barzalona.
He will also ride, Blue Bunting, who last ran at Doncaster in the St Leger. The rest of the lot includes Monterosso, Opinion Poll, Xin Xu Lin, Casamento, Dubai Prince and French Navy.
Last year, Rileyskeepingfaith, ridden by Ahmed Ajtebi won Mahmood Al Zarooni the Group 2 Godolphin Mile Sponsored by Etisalat, at about eight furlongs.
His next winner was, Xin Xu Lin, who had Frankie Dettori onboard while landing the Group 2 UAE Derby Sponsored by The Saeed & Mohammed Al Naboodah Group that had to be run over a distance of 9.5 furlongs.
The Group 1 Dubai Duty Free Sponsored by Dubai Duty Free, covered a distance of nine furlongs was won by, Debussy, ridden by Ahmed Ajtebi. Another victory that Frankie Dettori brought for the trainer was the Dubai Group 1 Sheema Classic, a 12 furlong
Turf race while riding the late, Rewilding.
He told the Godolphin website: "We have Monterosso and Blue Bunting out here and they could be aimed at Super Saturday, when Blue Bunting could have her prep race for the Dubai Sheema Classic”.
This is his plan for the Sheema Classic this year. It is a race that, Snow Fairy, missed last year due to a minor leg injury.
The longest shot last year was Mickael Barzalona’s ride, Monterosso, when the two raced to victory in the Group 1 Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline, a race run over a distance of ten furlongs.
Other winners from the Mahmood Al Zarooni’s stable were Splash Point, Introvert and Calvados Blues.
"We will see how he gets on next week before deciding where to go with him, while I have earmarked rounds two and three of the Maktoum Challenge for Casamento, Dubai Prince and French Navy”.
Mahmood Al Zarooni very cautiously and wisely has added many victors from the last year so, that his team has the maximum chances of winning maximum races at the Dubai World Cup Carnival this year too.
