EUPHORIA'S WARRIOR AND SUNSET CRUSADE WORK FOR THE DUBAI COLT CUP
Whenever they faced each other in a workout, Warrior and Cruze were always at each other's throats. Brotherly love, sibling rivalry, call it what you want. But both were equally talented with only a year between them and plenty yet to prove. They were due to run in the same race for the first time ever - the Dubai Colt Cup. For Warrior, it would be his prep for the Dubai World Cup. For Cruze, it would be his prep for the Dubai World Championship. For both, it would decide which Breeder's Cup race they would run in less than two months time.
Of course, there wasn't rivalry only between the horses. Stella, Warrior's rider, and Marissa, Cruze's rider, had an ongoing competition between them as well. It was unofficial, but they were competing for bragging rights as Star Thoroughbreds' best female jockey. Whoever had the most wins in Y12 would hold the title for the next year. Marissa was currently the title holder, but Stella was close.
