Re: Horse Racing
African storms to World Cup glory.

Quote:
African Story gave Saeed bin Suroor his sixth success and Godolphin their seventh in the Dubai World Cup at Meydan.
Fifth last year and only seen twice this season, he was ridden with great confidence by Silvestre de Sousa and wore down the front-running Mukhadram halfway down the straight.
The 12-1 chance stretched well clear by the line, while the Investec Derby winner Ruler Of The World, uneasy in the betting and with a poor draw, was struggling from some way out under Joseph O'Brien.
