Gloria de Campeao wins World Cup by a whisker

The world’s richest Thoroughbred race, the $10-million Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1), was decided by the slimmest of margins on Saturday at Meydan Racecourse as a $4-million photo finish was needed to determine the winner.
Group 1 winner Gloria de Campeao (Brz) and South African Group 3 winner Lizard’s Desire flashed across the finish line together with Allybar sandwiched between the top two in a thrilling battle. Lizard’s Desire’s jockey Kevin Shea celebrated after the finish but his emotional display was premature as front-running Gloria de Campeao nipped Lizard’s Desire by a whisker.
The miniscule margin was the difference between $6-million for the winner’s share and $2-million for the runner-up.
“I thought I had won but as we past the post, I looked across and the second jockey was celebrating, so I thought I’d keep quiet and wait for the result,” winning rider Tiago Pereira said. “The horse settled in front and I dropped my hands 300 meters out and asked him to kick on. He was so brave and this is all just a dream.”
Sent off at 25.20-to-1 odds, Gloria de Campeao completed 2,000 meters (9.94 furlongs) in 2:03.83 on the synthetic Tapeta Footings surface at Meydan. Trained by Pascal Bary for owner Estrela Energia Stables, Gloria de Campeao improved to nine wins in 24 starts and boosted his bankroll to $8,864,476, good for fourth on the list of all-time leading North American-raced earners.
“If he’s alone after he’s taken the lead and no one comes after him, it is so difficult to catch him,” Bary said of the bay horse, who is out of the Clackson mare Audacity. “He wants to fight.”
Gloria de Campeao finished second last year in the World Cup for trainer Pascal Bary and subsequently won the $2,028,009 Singapore Airlines International Cup (Sin-G1) by a neck over Presvis. He finished ninth in the Arlington Million Stakes (G1) in his final start in 2009, but showed an affinity for the synthetic Tapeta Footings surface in his first two starts this year.
The six-year-old Impression horse won the Shadwell Farm Al Maktoum Challenge-Round 1 (UAE-G3) and finished second by a neck to Dubai World Cup entrant Red Desire in the Derrinstown Stud Al Maktoum Challenge-Round 3 (UAE-G2) in his previous start on March 4.
Gloria de Campeao set the pace in the Dubai World Cup and opened a clear advantage under Pereira. When he was challenged in the stretch, Gloria de Campeao rose to the occasion to take down the first World Cup contested at Meydan.
Lizard’s Desire was the tough-luck runner-up despite a strong performance.
“It’s a very bitter pill to swallow, but I’ve got to swallow it,” Shea said. “When I looked up it was just after the [finish] line and I was in front and I thought I’d got it. It’s hard to take. The horse gave me everything but the winner got it soft up front.”
Allybar was third and Gio Ponti, last year’s champion turf male and older male, was reserved off the pace by Ramon Dominguez and closed willingly to finish fourth, about 1 1/2 lengths behind the winner.
“I had a great trip,” Dominguez said. “I was very proud of how my horse ran. They were setting a very modest pace in front of me. That really affected my horse. I wish there was a little more pace. They just didn’t come back a whole lot.”
Goodwood Stakes (G1) winner Gitano Hernando (GB) finished sixth, followed by Pacific Classic Stakes (G1) winner Richard’s Kid. Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) winner Furthest Land was last of 14.
Gloria de Campeao takes Meydan’s first Dubai World Cup

Daring the best horses in the world to catch him, Gloria de Campeao raced to an early lead and relied on the courage that trainer Pascal Bary said is his hallmark to hold off a late lunge from the unheralded Lizard’s Desire to win the Dubai World Cup, sponsored by Emirates Airline in a thrilling finish that left the Meydan crowd wondering who had prevailed in the first US$10 million race in history.

Neither horse’s connections were sure until the results of the official photo finish were announced. Brazilian-based owner Stefan Friborg of Estrela Energia Stables yelled with delight and was immediately mobbed by family and friends.
“I don’t have words for it,” a beaming Friborg said of the six-year-old Brazilian-bred whose name means “Glorious Champion” in Portuguese and who had finished second to Well Armed in last year’s Dubai World Cup. “It was fabulous. The plan was to go to the front, and he is very tough. He enjoys a fight and he never gives up.”
“He always tries. He has a heart like that,” said an emotional Bary while holding his hands wide apart.
Ridden by Tiago Pereira, Gloria de Campeao covered the 2000 meters in 2:03.83 and officially won by a nose. Lizard’s Desire, who trainer Mike de Kock said “was the winner a jump past the line,” finished a short head in front of Godolphin’s third-placed Allybar, with American champion Gio Ponti fourth, 1¼ lengths back.
“I thought I had won, but as we passed the post, I looked across and the second jockey was celebrating so I thought I’d keep quiet and wait for the result,” said Pereira. “(Gloria de Campeao) was so brave and this is all just a dream.”
Kevin Shea, who rode South African-bred Lizard’s Desire, said his mount “gave me everything but the winner got it soft up front.
“It’s a very bitter pill to swallow, but I’ve got to swallow it,” he added. “When I looked up it was just after the line and I was in front and I thought I’d got it.”
Gloria de Campeao’s win marks a new era for the Dubai World Cup in its first running at Meydan and the first on an all-weather track. His victory marked the first time a horse not owned by Americans or the Maktoum family has won the world’s richest race.
The first three finishers had all raced during the Dubai International Racing Carnival, with Gloria de Campeao winning the Al Maktoum Challenge Round 1and just missing by a nose when caught at the finish line by the Japanese filly Red Desire in the Al Maktoum Challenge Round 3.
Red Desire was one of the disappointments of the Dubai World Cup, finishing 11th as one of the early favourites following her Maktoum Challenge victory. Jockey Christophe Soumillon had hustled Red Desire out of the gate and into a forward position early in the World Cup running even though she had raced from farther back previously.
“When she came out, she didn’t accelerate in the stretch,” Soumillon said.
Ramon Dominguez, who rode Gio Ponti, another one of the favourites, also said the slow pace Gloria de Campeao was allowed to set hurt the chances of the American champion.
“I had a great trip,” Dominguez said. “I was very proud of how my horse ran. They were setting a very modest pace up in front of me; that really affected my horse. I wish there had been a little more pace.”
Following Gio Ponti across the finish line were, in order: Mastery, Gitano Hernando, Richard’s Kid, Mr. Brock, Crowded House, Twice Over, Red Desire, Vision d’Etat, Amor de Pobre and Furthest Land.
LIZARD'S DESIRE A WHISKER FROM WORLD CUP IMMORTALITY

The ex-Port Elizabeth runner, Lizard's Desire by the unfashionable sire Lizard's Island, almost stunned the racing world when he got within a whisker of winning the richest race in the history of horseracing, the Dubai World Cup worth USD 10 million. Image: Andrew Watkins
Kevin Shea (pictured) was in celebratory mood after the finish as he thought he had the race in the bag but the photo finish disappointed him and many other South Africans in the process. GLORIA DE CAMPEAO (BRZ) lead most of the way and stayed on well from the flying De Kock runner to win a fine race.
Allybar ran third for Godolphin. In the end, the whisker loss for the South Africans was worth USD 4 million less in prize money but the up side is that they still take home USD 2 million for second place.
Post race quotes from the Dubai World Cup, sponsored by Emirates Airline
Pascal Bary, trainer, Gloria de Campeao, 1st: “If he’s alone after he’s taken the lead and no one comes after him, it is so difficult to catch him. He wants to fight.”
Tiago Pereira, jockey, Gloria de Campeao, 1st: “I thought I had won but as we past the post, I looked across and the second jockey was celebrating, so I thought I’d keep quiet and wait for the result. The horse settled in front and I dropped my hands 300 metres out and asked him to kick on. He was so brave and this is all just a dream.”
Kevin Shea, jockey, Lizard’s Desire, 2nd: “It’s a very bitter pill to swallow, but I’ve got to swallow it. When I looked up it was just after the line and I was in front and I thought I’d got it. It’s hard to take. The horse gave me everything but the winner got it soft up front.
Ahmed Ajtebi, jockey, Allybar, 3rd: “I was not lucky with my draw. He did not take the gap. It happened last time in the [Al] Maktoum Challenge. I go inside the rail and get beat by one length – finished fourth. Tonight, bad draw. I find the gap, but he’s the kind of horse that is a little bit soft. If he takes the gap, I win by lengths.”
Ramon Dominguez, jockey, Gio Ponti, 4th: “I had a great trip. I was very proud of how my horse ran. They were setting a very modest pace in front of me. That really affected my horse. I wish there was a little more pace. They just didn’t come back a whole lot.”
Frankie Dettori, jockey, Mastery, 5th: “Ran super.”
Kieren Fallon, jockey, Gitano Hernando, 6th: “They went no pace and consequently, there were traffic problems and everything was blocking up in front of me. If they’d gone faster, the horses would have spread out more but on a tight track like this, you need some room.”
Garrett Gomez, jockey, Richard’s Kid, 7th: “I couldn’t get him to quicken. It was like he was in quicksand. All of a sudden, the last sixteenth of a mile, he started hitting gears. If I could get a couple more like that, I would still have a chance there. They started to quicken coming off the bend, I was following Gio Ponti. I gave up on Gio Ponti before we turned for home and I wheeled my horse out. The pace was why that horse won it.”
Ryan Moore, jockey, Mr. Brock, 8th: “Ran quite a good race, just not good enough.”
John Velazquez, jockey, Crowded House, 9th: “He was slowly away and got behind when we just had too much ground to make up.”
Tom Queally, jockey, Twice Over, 10th: “I was never travelling well and he was hanging to the right most of the way. He got a slight bump on the first turn and he never was really travelling well after that. It was disappointing.”
Christophe Soumillon, jockey, Red Desire, 11th: “When she came out, she didn’t accelerate in the stretch.”
Olivier Peslier, jockey, Vision d'Etat, 12th: “He travelled okay until the pressure came on and then he wasn’t going anywhere. He raced too keenly, a bit like he did in the Arc.”
Aaron Gryder, jockey, Amor de Pobre, 13th: “He travelled well. Early in the straight, I asked him to open his lungs and stretch. He gave me everything but in the last 400, we weren’t making any ground.”
Julien Leparoux, trainer, Furthest Land, 14th: “It was disappointing. He was never really into it.”
