California Chrome has finally brought it home.
The 2014 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes had inspired a country song called Bring it on home, Chrome, and his Chromies back in the United States and his fan following elsewhere will be singing that after the five-year-old made his mark in the biggest payday in horse racing. After enduring disappointment last year, California Chrome finally lived up to the hype by clinching the prestigious Dubai World Cup at a glitzy Meydan Racecourse on Saturday night.
"It's unbelievable, he's now the world's richest horse. He did a superb job," said Art Sherman, trainer of California Chrome.
"Today it proves how he can run when he's 100 per cent. The prep he felt strong. He won easy," said jockey Victor Espinoza.
His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Shaikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai had attended the event, along with Shaikh Mohammed's wife Princess Haya bint Hussein and their daughter Shaikha Jalila.
Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, had officially opened the 21st edition of the world's richest horse race on March 26 (Saturday).
Race 9 - Dubai World CupWith more than $30 million across the nine races, the Dubai World Cup is the richest race meeting in the world. The climax is the $10 million World Cup race itself, which is run over 2,000 metres and dates back to 1996 when it was won by the great Cigar.
