Prince Bishop

No Redboard info on the Dubai World Cup.  Does anyone have Prince Bishop\'s and African Story\'s last couple of races.

[Dick Powell]

prince bishop ran 1 3/4, 1 3/4 in his last two starts. African Story ran 7 then a 0.
Both horses, age eight, never an on dirt until this year and they both had the benefit of racing twice over the track at Meydan to prep for the World Cup. Only Secret Circle was able to win on the dirt without a prep over it. Tamarkuz and Mubhaatij had run four times each over it before yesterday. The feat that the kickback would be severe did not materialize since the dirt was much tighter than expected.
Heard today that Sheikh Hamdan, son of Sheikh Mohammed, donated the $6 million first prize to the Dubai Autism Center.

Thank You.  It seems that Prince Bishop would not have needed to improve much off of his pair to beat the Americans without their Lasix.

Mubtaahij had his 5th trip over the strip.  Maftool had his 3rd over the strip and Golden Barrow his first after 3 dirt tries in Japan.
 
I just watched the UAE 2000 Guineas - Maftool was at least a couple of paths wider than Mubtaahij.  Could you tell me their dirt numbers?
