Gentil a Sheema Classic giant.

Ryan Moore kept his cool to guide Japanese mare Gentildonna to victory in a rough Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan.

The pair had enjoyed victory together in the Japan Cup and last year's runner-up, trained by Sei Ishizaka, moved well but appeared to get cut up by Cirrus Des Aigles when about to make her move and needed to be snatched up for another effort.

Golden moment for Certerach.

Jamie Spencer punched the air with delight but connections were made to sweat as 33-1 chance Certerach caused a big upset in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan.

Trained in County Kildare by Mick Halford, who excels with his runners in the Gulf, Certerach had an awful lot to find on form, but Spencer was always in the right place and edged his way past his pacesetting former compatriot Ralston Road with about a furlong to run.
Variety dazzles in Mile.

South African champion Variety Club delivered a powerful performance from the front to lower the colours of Soft Falling Rain in the Godolphin Mile at Meydan.

The dual Horse Of The Year in his homeland had a difficult draw in stall 15 but Anton Marcus bustled him quickly out of the gates and across to the inside.
