Rain did its best but didn’t manage to stop play at Meydan last week, although it was undoubtedly a soggy affair. This played to the strengths of the visiting Europeans, however, who managed two wins.
First came the Irish-trained Coachello in the Dubai Sprint, while Good Fortune now owns a slice of history, having become the first Denmark-trained horse to win at the Carnival.
A big well done to his trainer, Soren Jensen, who managed the win with just his second-ever runner in the UAE. On to this week, when there are horses from eight countries clashing across seven races.
It’s a very strong card, featuring the G2 Maktoum Challenge Round 2, which should throw up some horses to take their chance in the $12-million Dubai World Cup in March.
