He did not disappoint, taking the Grade 1 Dubai Turf on World Cup night. I did not have a similar horse in my mind this time around but Dream Castle is rapidly becoming a horse in whom I am investing a good deal of hope.

Last week under Christophe Soumillon he won the Al Rashidiya, sealing the race with a smart turn of foot. He is developing into the new Benbatl. He’s not as good as him yet, but in the Grade 1 Jebel Hatta on Super Saturday he may well take another step towards being the new Benbatl.
