DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — New Zealand-bred So You Think is the horse to beat at Saturday’s $10 million Dubai World Cup.
However, sentiment will be with U.S.-based Game On Dude, whose trainer Bob Baffert is recovering from a heart attack and is expected to be trackside.
So You Think is the favorite at 5-2 in the draw for the world’s richest horse race.
Chantal Sutherland, the sometimes reality star and model, will make history as the first female jockey in the race when she gets aboard Game On Dude (7-1). Another American contender, Royal Delta (10-1), could become the first filly to win the race.
Baffert was hospitalized in Dubai on Monday after suffering a heart attack. He was moved out of the intensive care unit on Tuesday and was expected to be released Thursday.
