Dubai
  • Arrogate wins 2017 Dubai World Cup.
  • The most elite and competitive affair returns once again to the Meydan Racecourse on the 25th of March 2017. The annual Dubai World Cup has been running in Meydan since 2010 and offers prizes starting from $10 million, thus making it the richest horse race the world has ever seen.

Now the 2nd richest race in the World behind the Pegasus World Cup which had its inaugural race this year and was won by what many believe is the best horse today, Arrogate.

Arrogate has not let up since his record-setting race he won by more than 13 lengths in the Grade I, $1 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga last August. He continues to show race fans why he could be one of the best horses ever after winning the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita in November by a half-length. He just keeps getting better and he proved once again in the inaugural Pegasus World Cup winning easily by almost 5 lengths.

He has earned more than $11 million in 7 lifetime races and is owned by Juddmonte Farms, and looks great coming into Saturday’s Dubai World Cup. He will face 13 runners on Saturday and many have some good resumes. He may not get the fanfare that California Chrome received winning at last year’s Dubai World Cup, but when he crosses the wire, his name will be on top in the sport.
