World of hurt for Star Thoroughbreds?
The Dubai World Cup and World Turf Cup are to run this weekend, and both fields look extremely strong. With betting open, many are questioning the decision to run the filly War Cry in the Dubai World Cup. The three year old has not won a race since the Coaching Club American Oaks back in June, despite having six opportunities to do so in this time. Born To Impress is also entered, and has been favoured more among punters than his stablemate. When questioned this morning, however, War Cry's rider Marissa Star seemed confident.
War Cry may not have won since the Triple Tiara, but she has been raced lightly in that time and against older horses too. Rest assured that my filly has been well prepared for this race, and remember what she achieved in the first half of the year.
Born To Impress' rider Sarah Star declined to comment, but the Kentucky Derby winner is certainly looking to make a solid run.
