SUPERSTAR mare Snow Fairy will miss a trip to Dubai as she continues to recover from the injury she sustained in the build-up to the Hong Kong Vase last month.

The dual Oaks heroine had been given an entry for the carnival but was not among 99 British-trained horses to stand their ground at the latest acceptance stage after picking up an injury at Sha Tin.

Trainer Ed Dunlop said: "Snow Fairy won't be going to Dubai. We made the carnival entries before she got her injury. At the minute she is recovering from it and we've not yet got to the stage where we'll decide where she starts. We'll think about that in a couple of months."
Stablemate Red Cadeaux, who was beaten a length and a half by Dunaden in the Hong Kong Vase, having been edged out by a nose by that horse in the Melbourne Cup the time before, could run at Meydan with the new Group 3 Dubai Gold Cup a possibility.

"A decision has not been made yet on Red Cadeaux," Dunlop added. "He came out of the race very well and is having a little break. The two-mile race on World Cup night is under consideration but we need to weigh it up and I've not spoken to the owners yet."

Caspar Netscher, a dual Group 2 winner as a juvenile, will not be taking up his Dubai option with trainer Alan McCabe instead choosing to keep him at home and aim him for the Greenham Stakes.

The son of Dutch Art was last seen finishing eighth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf and McCabe said: "I think we've just decided not to go. It is down to the time frame.

"We've decided we would rather wait for a Guineas trial and we're looking at Newbury and the Greenham, but we'll wait and see what runs there first. He has won at Newbury before so that would be no problem and he's done really well over the winter."

William Haggas looks set to have four runners at the carnival with Green Destiny and Beaten Up among a team with big-race targets.
Haggas said: "Green Destiny, if he has a prep, will go for the Maktoum Challenge on Super Saturday and then the World Cup or Sheema Classic depending on the ground.

"Beaten Up will either go for the Jebel Hatta and then on to the Sheema Classic or World Cup, we don't know which one yet - but there is the possibility he may stay in England and run in a Listed race at Lingfield and then just fly in for World Cup day."

A total of 50 trainers in Britain have runners with carnival options but Jim Goldie does not figure among that number despite Nanton being entered - he is under the name of local trainer Erwan Charpy.

Goldie explained: "Rather than try to do it from here we decided to try and do it with somebody out there to give the horse the best chance. It was my suggestion and there is nothing sinister in it.

"It was decided by mutual agreement. If it all goes well he could run on World Cup night and the plan then would be that he'd be coming back here in April."

Jim Bolger and Dermot Weld are among ten trainers in Ireland with entries, a list in which Aidan O'Brien does not figure, but only one horsetrained in the US features among the nominations.

Betting opportunities abound at 2012 Dubai racing Carnival

Caspar Netscher, Margot Did and Overdose will all be running at the Meydan meeting

Sir Henry Cecil may be giving Dubai a wide berth this year but there are plenty of British and Irish trainers licking their lips as the international racing Carnival returns to town at Meydan on Thursday.
Cecil blamed a wide draw for Twice Over's defeats in the past two Dubai World Cups and gave an interview after last year's race where he effectively said he would not be going back soon. It is perhaps no surprise, therefore, that, just like Aidan O'Brien, Cecil has no horses entered for this year's meeting.

However, the list of British trainers who are set to head out for the 10-week Carnival meeting is impressive and features a number of interesting horses whose participation ought to ensure that punters at least tune in for some of the action between now and 17 March.

Marco Botti has half a dozen due to arrive in Dubai next week, with more to follow afterwards, while other handlers sending out runners include George Baker, Luca Cumani, William Haggas and Charlie Hills.

Richard Fahey returns to Dubai for the first time in four years with Sir Reginald and forgotten Dee Stakes winner Glen's Diamond, while some of the other best British-trained possibles include Group One winners Prohibit and Margot Did as well as Mill Reef and Gimcrack Stakes winner Caspar Netscher.

Most of the 17 Irish horses eligible for the meeting, a number that includes runners from the stables of Jim Bolger, John Oxx and Dermot Weld, are already in Dubai. Another to take the eye is the classy Hungarian sprinter Overdose, due to travel next week for a campaign geared towards the 1,200-metre Dubai Golden Shaheen on World Cup night on 31 March.

Of course betting on racing in Dubai may not be for everyone, but the Tapeta racing surface appeared to produce as level a playing field as imaginable as regards any tactical biases and research on the excellent dubairacenight.com website also failed to find evidence to support Cecil's claims of a draw bias from results at the track during last year's Carnival.

Furthermore, with rumours mounting that Lingfield may be ready to become the first racecourse in Europe to install a Tapeta surface later this year, the action at Meydan could provide a pointer as to how the shape of racing at the track may change should they make the switch from Polytrack.

Not convinced yet? Timeform's Stephen Molyneux says that, for punters, the action there offers some of the best betting opportunities of the year: "You're dealing with a smaller pool of horses, many of whom will be trained or ridden by people with whom British punters are familiar, and form that is largely achieved on one track with fewer variables – it's ideal for specialist study.

"With the number of South American-bred horses seemingly on the decline, a lot of the form lines will be familiar and there has been already plenty of racing at Meydan and the other United Arab Emirates tracks for a couple of months.

"Although the liquidity on Betfair can sometimes be a bit slow to get going until the final 10 minutes before each race, you can get a decent bet on and plenty of the bookmakers will price the races up too. Often the Godolphin horses take out a big chunk of the market and there can be decent value about looking elsewhere so I think it needs to be taken seriously by punters."

Ali Rashi al-Raihe and the exiled American Doug Watson both have recent UAE trainers' championship titles to their name and have so far set the early running in this season's competition. Runners representing the pair feature strongly this week as the Carnival starts, however Saeed bin Suroor and Mahmood al-Zarooni also get the Godolphin team going which will mean competition will be tougher than in the nine weeks since the season started at the end of October.

That said, behind Suroor, al-Zarooni and Mike de ****, local trainers won a sizeable chunk of the races at last year's Carnival so it does pay to know your UAE yards.

Another man already to have made an impression in Dubai over the winter is James Doyle, the 23-year-old jockey having taken advantage of a profitable association with the trainer Dhruba Selvaratnam to ride plenty of winners in the colours of Ahmed al-Maktoum.

Selvaratnam's first-choice rider, William Buick, has now arrived for the start of the Carnival, meaning that Doyle's opportunities may become more limited, but he is on board British-trained runners for Roger Charlton and Michael Attwater on Thursday and is riding like a man who has his eyes set on securing a big job with one of the major Arab owners.

Mickael Barzalona

The 20 year old emblazoned himself on racing's consciousness with his outrageous celebration as he won the English Derby on Pour Moi in June. Barzalona, who is attached to Andre Fabre's stable in France, rode for Godolphin last season, winning the UAE Derby with Khawlah.

William Buick

The Newmarket-based rider announced the news of his partnership with John Gosden in sensational style in 2010 when he landed the Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic on Dar Re Mi, his first ride for the trainer. Buick was joint champion apprentice jockey in Britain in 2008 and won five times at the highest level in 2011.

Mirco Demuro

The Italian teamed up with Victoire Pisa to win the Dubai World Cup. The 37 year old operates on the world stage and in 2003 became the first non-Japanese jockey to win the Japan Derby on Neo Universe. Demuro has been champion jockey in Italy five times.

Frankie Dettori

Godolphin's retained jockey has won virtually every major race, having notched over 100 victories at the highest level in 11 different countries. He is the only jockey to have ridden the winner of each of the thoroughbred races on the Dubai World Cup card.

Maxime Guyon

The young Frenchman also has an association with Andre Fabre and Godolphin for whom he won the 2010 Grand Prix de Paris on Cavalryman. He followed up in the same race in 2011 on Meandre, one of eight victories at Group 1 level.

Kenichi Ikezoe

The Japanese rider has accumulated 16 victories at the highest level but three of them stand above all others. The 32 year old won the Triple Crown in his country in 2011, only the seventh time the feat has been accomplished.



Christophe Lemaire

Lemaire gifted Japan their first victory on Dubai World Cup night when in 2006 he partnered Heart's Cry to victory in the Dubai Sheema Classic. The 30 year old has campaigned heavily in England, Japan and Hong Kong and is the retained jockey for the Aga Khan.

Ryan Moore

Moore is the stable jockey to Sir Michael Stoute and has been champion jockey three times in England, where he won the Oaks and the Derby at Epsom on consecutive days in 2010. Rode Presvis to victory in last season's Dubai Duty Free.

Colm O'Donoghue

The Irishman has been associated with Aidan O'Brien's Ballydolye yard for 13 years. O'Brien has provided O'Donoghue with all seven of his Group 1 victories, which included in 2011 wins in the Irish Derby and Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park in August on Treasure Beach.

Tom Queally

Has come to the top table of racing later than most, having scored at Group 1 level for the first time in 2009 when he won the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot on Art Connoisseur. Since then he has regularly farmed the top races. He has also partnered Frankel to all nine of his successes.


Andrasch Starke

The German has been champion jockey in his native country five times and has won each of their Classics Starke has won two Jockeys Championships in Hong Kong in 2000 and 2005 and won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in record time in 2011 on Danedream.

Craig Williams

The 34 year old had an extraordinary 2011 and he dominated the Melbourne Spring Carnival in Australia winning each of the major Group 1 races. Guided Dunaden to victory in the Hong Kong Vase in December

Well done Anaglogs, the jockeys point to possible Japanese and German entries, maybe in other races than the WORLD CUP.

With regard to the track, I think it is the tightness of it rather than the surface that is the problem, the old Nad al Sheeba track had lovely sweeping turns, particularly the turf.

Japan: Orfevre, crowned the Japan Racing Association's horse of the year for 2011 this month, will not be taking in the Dubai World Cup Carnival, it was confirmed on Wednesday.

The first winner of Japan's Triple Crown since the great Deep Impact in 2005, Orfevre will be kept to racing domestically at the start of the year with connections making the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe his main target for 2012.

A tilt at the Dubai Sheema Classic or the World Cup were considered for the four-year-old, but connections want the horse to be in peak condition for the Arc.

Trainer Yasutoshi Ikee said: "He will race domestically this spring. It will be decided looking at his condition, the weather and so on whether he will run in the Takarazuka Kinen or not.

"I want to make his condition to be the peak at the Arc de Triomphe. I will consider if the prep race will be a domestic one or in Europe including France. We will go to France in the near future to make an inspection."

The Takarazuka Kinen will be staged on June 24 at Hanshin and Ikee added that the Grade 2 Hanshin Daishoten on March 18 and the Grade 1 Tenno Sho Spring on April 29 would be Orfevre's other targets.

The horse is at the Northern Farm Shigaraki near Ritto Training Centre and will return to Ikee next month.

"He will be in an easy environment in January and be trained harder at the firm in February," said the trainer. "He will be back to my yardin Ritto in the end of February."

Black Caviar given World Cup night entries

By Jon Lees RACINGPOST.COM

BLACK CAVIAR, the unbeaten Australian sprinter, could head to Royal Ascot via Dubai after the mare was on Wednesday entered in both the Golden Shaheen and Al Quoz Sprint on World Cup night.

The winner of all 16 of her starts, rated second only to Frankel in the world thoroughbred rankings, is due to return to action for the first of three runs in Australia beginning at Moonee Valley later this month.

But trainer Peter Moody has given himself the option of taking her to Meydan afterwards in March where a run in the Golden Shaheen could set up a showdown with Sepoy, the Sheikh Mohammed-owned colt who won nine out of ten starts in Australia last year and is now in Dubai.

"What racecourse wouldn't want Black Caviar?" said Martin Talty, the Dubai Racing Club's international manager on Wednesday. "We are over the moon that she has been entered. We know she is going to have three runs in Australia but there is the option of a$2 million race or a $1 million race on the way to Ascot.

"If she contested the Golden Shaheen she would be running for virtually $1.8 million because of a bonus put up for winning the Patinack Farm Classic last November as part of the Global Sprint Challenge. Everyone in Australia was desperately looking forward to her taking on Sepoy and if she runs in the Golden Shaheen then she would."
