Animal Kingdom (11/2) was a comfortable two-length winner of the 2013 Dubai World Cup at Meydan on Saturday evening.
The American-trained horse tracked the front running Royal Delta before moving into the lead as they entered the home straight. Jockey Joel Rosario quickly established a several length lead and found few challengers in final furlongs.
Animal Kingdom, winner of the 2011 Kentucky Derby, is trained in the US by Englishman Graham Motion and there was a strong UK link to the placed horses too. Red Cadeaux, trained by Ed Dunlop, belied his 25/1 price to finish second, while Marco Botti's Planteur (10/1) and Andrew Balding's Side Glance (33/1) filled third and fourth spots.
UK racegoers could have the chance to see Animal Kingdom race at the Royal Ascot meeting in June 2013.
