2019 Dubai World Cup

[1][2] The race was won for the second year running by Thunder Snow, who became the first horse to win the Dubai World Cup twice.

[7] North America was fastest out of the gates and took an early lead, with defending champion Thunder Snow breaking well from the second widest draw to move in behind the leader, alongside Capezzano, who was pulling hard on the inside.

As the horses settled, Gronkowski moved through to challenge North America for the lead, with the leaders closely followed by Thunder Snow, Capezzano and New Trails.

The positions at the front of the race remained unchanged until the final bend, where Capezzano and New Trails quickly faded.

Into the home straight, North America started to drop back as Thunder Snow challenged Gronkowski for the lead.
