Victoire Pisa pulled off an upset in the $10,000,000 Dubai World Cup tonight at Meydan Race Course, desperately holding off challengers on all sides to win by a neck.
Ridden by M. Demuro, the four-year-old colt was last in the early going but made a sweeping move approaching the far turn to move into second place. This brilliant ride enabled the colt to take the lead turning for home and hold off all of the other runners. Transcend, in front for much of the race, held on well for second at 40-1. while Monterosso rallied in between horses for third at 50-1. It was a 1-2 sweep for the Japanese runners.
Cape Blanco tired just a bit to finish fourth after looming a serious threat in the stretch. Gio Ponti, making his first start since early November, made a five wide bid for the lead it looked for a moment as though he would win the race, but he flattened out mildly in deep stretch to finish fifth.
