Cavalryman explodes to Dubai Gold Cup victory

Cavalryman showcased a spectacular turn-of-foot in the final two hundred meters of the $1,000,000 Dubai Gold Cup Sponsored by Al Tayer Motors (UAE-III) at Meydan, bursting clear of stablemate Ahzeemah to win the 3,200 meter turf race by four lengths,

With Silvestre De Sousa aboard, Cavalryman settled into mid-pack for much of the race as Saddler's Rock and Tenenbaum set a very slow pace. The positions really didn't change much at all until the homestretch, when Cavalryman rolled past his rivals with an eye-catching rally to win going away in powerful fashion. The final time was 3:24.28.

Ahzeemah narrowly held second over Verema, who rallied mildly to edge Imperial Monarch for the third spot.

The winner, a seven-year-old son of Halling out of the Highest Honor mare Silversword, is trained by Saeed Bin Suroor and owned by Godolphin Racing.
