RIYADH: All eyes turned to the Kingdom on Friday and some of the world's best thoroughbred racehorses as the annual Saudi Cup meeting got underway in Riyadh.

The field is headed by three-time Group 1 winner and last year’s Saudi Cup champion, Irish-bred Mishriff. A historic second win in the race would see the John and Thady Gosden-trained runner surpass Winx and become the highest-earning racehorse of all time.
