Reigning Japanese Horse of the Year Forever Young (Real Steel) will break from stall 6 under Ryusei Sakai in a field of nine for Saturday's $12-million G1 Dubai World Cup sponsored by Emirates.Trainer Yoshito Yahagi, who drew the gate number during the post-position ceremony at Meydan Racecourse on Wednesday morning, said, “I wanted middle to outer, so I'm pleased.”Last year, Forever Young could manage only third in the Dubai World Cup behind Hit Show (Candy Ride), who is drawn alongside Forever Young in gate 5 as he tries to emulate Thunder Snow (2018 and 2019) as a dual winner of the race.Stall 1 went to one of the potential pace angles in Magnitude (Not This Time), while the Simon and Ed Crisford-trained Meydaan (Frankel), the winner of last month's G2 Al Maktoum Classic, is drawn next door to him in gate 2.“I think we would have preferred to be a little bit further out,” said Simon Crisford. We don't really want him to get shuffled back and the pace will be more intense in this race than on Super Saturday. But [we're] happy enough.”The other British-trained contender, Jamie Osborne's Heart Of Honor (Honor A. P.), will break from stall 4, with Walk Of Stars (Dubawi) immediately on his inside in stall 3. Walk Of Stars is joined in the line-up by stablemate Imperial Emperor (Dubawi), who is in gate 7.“It's perfect in seven,” said trainer Bhupat Seemar. “Forever Young is on the inside of him and he is going to be the favourite. He's the right horse to follow. Tadhg can just jump and follow him, hopefully all the way to the line – and hopefully we can be a head or a length in front.”He added of Walk Of Stars, “It's a pertfect draw. He's got a lot of speed and from stall three he can dominate and display his natural speed.”The field is completed by Tap Leader (Tapiture) and Tumbarumba (Oscar Performance), who are drawn on the outside in stalls 8 and 9, respectively.The draw for the other four Group 1s on the $30.5-million card also took place on Wednesday morning.The 2025 World's Best Racehorse Calandagan (Gleneagles) will break from stall 2 in the $6-million G1 Longines Dubai Sheema Classic, though post position is unlikely to play a major role in a field of six.Dual Group 1 winner Ombudsman (Night Of Thunder) drew gate 7 in the $5-million G1 Dubai Turf sponsored by DP World, while 2024 winner Facteur Cheval (Ribchester) is next door in stall 6.GI Breeders' Cup Sprint hero Bentornato (Valiant Minister) drew well in gate 2 for the $2-million G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen sponsored by Nakheel, while Lazzat (Territories) is housed in stall 7 – two away from his Riyadh conqueror Reef Runner (The Big Beast) in 5 – for the $2-million G1 Al Quoz Sprint sponsored by Azizi Developments.For full fields and draw details, click here.The post Favourite Forever Young Draws Stall Six for Dubai World Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
