Dubai World Cup 2013

Animal Kingdom crushed his competition in the 18th running of the G1 US$10 million Dubai World Cup sponsored by Emirates Airlines on 30 March 2013.

Now owned in partnership by Australia’s Arrowfield Stud and the Team Valor International racing partnership based in the United States, the 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom stunned even his owners with his remarkable victory by two lengths over late running Red Cadeaux in the world’s richest race at Meydan.

Animal Kingdom’s win was the ninth in the Dubai World Cup by an American based horse out of the 18 runnings and the first since the race switched to Meydan. The earlier winners were Cigar, Silver Charm, Captain Steve, Pleasantly Perfect, Roses in May, Invasor, Curlin and Well Armed.
