Undefeated Vercingetorix is a big runner for SA on World Cup night
Trainer Mike de Kock has accepted six invitations to as many races for his runners on Dubai World Cup night, including an invite for Sanshaawes to the world’s richest race, the $US10-million Dubai World Cup.
Sanshaawes finished second in last week’s Gr1 Al Maktoum Challenge (Round 3) over the DWC course and distance, 2000m on the all-weather, and will take on some of the world’s best for the big cash.
The other accepted invitations are:
- Jalotta (UAE Derby)
- Shea Shea (Al Quoz Sprint)
- Soft Falling Rain (Godolphin Mile)
- Vercingetorix (Dubai Duty Free)
- Mars (Sheema Classic)
“We’ll have good representation for South Africa across the board and we’re looking forward to the occasion. Congratulations to the various owners who will have runners.”
Cape trainer Joe Ramsden’s Variety Club has also been invited to the Godolphin Mile.
The Dubai World Cup night will take place on Saturday 29 March and at this stage it appears that it will not be televised to local viewers.
