Razorback Winner Mystic Guide To Ship For Dubai World Cup


Ghostzapper colt Mystic Guide wins the Razorback Handicap by six lengths under Luis Saez



Trainer Michael Stidham told the Daily Racing Form that Saturday’s G3 Razorback Handicap winner Mystic Guide will head overseas to contest the Dubai World Cup, scheduled for March 27. The Grade 1-placed son of Ghostzapper won Oaklawn’s $600,000 race by six lengths, and should be one of the lower-priced choices in Dubai.

A Godolphin homebred out of the five-time Grade 1-winning millionaire Music Note (A.P. Indy), Mystic Guide won the G2 Jim Dandy Stakes last year before finishing a close second to Happy Saver in the G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup.

Plans call for the 4-year-old to ship from Stidham’s base at the Fair Grounds to Miami on March 15, then to the UAE on March 17. No decision has been finalized on a jockey, Stidham said.

Other American horses targeting the Dubai World Cup are Sleepy Eyes Todd and Tacitus, both of whom contested the Saudi Cup and remained overseas.
