Dubai World Cup Night Preview 2015

Golden Harp - Japanese superstar Harp Star can win the Sheema Classic.

It’s hard to believe that Cheltenham was only just over two short weeks ago but the greatest show on turf is going to feel like even more of a distant memory this weekend as the flat returns in earnest.

Around this time of year I always like to put up a few selections for a great day of racing at Meydan as the world’s richest race takes centre stage.

This year’s World Cup though does little for me in terms of punting because the horse I really want to back California Chrome is extremely short in the betting now.

Having landed a nice touch on ‘the people’s horse’ in the Kentucky Derby last year I became a fully fledged ‘Chromie’ and in spite of all the controversy that followed I remain firmly in that camp and would love nothing more than to see him win the Dubai World Cup.
