But because he is a horse of his time, Arrogate’s eventual place among the greats will be defined by standards that would have been dismissed as mundane in bygone eras. He will never carry or concede significant weight. He will never be considered durable, with only a dozen or so starts. And while huge purses will continue to muster full fields around him, time is running out for a worthy challenger to come along."]]></description>

These are the horses that can't sniff two minutes in the Kentucky Derby anymore, and that don't exist in the same numbers, nor have the same kudos, as when Cigar and Silver Charm were winning at the end of the last century."]]></description>

Instead the race may end up serving as a reminder of how a Dubai World Cup run on dirt is entirely reliant on attracting the best American horses."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Beyond the cause-and-effect of money, bloodlines, or whatever may be driving the numbers, there is a less concrete, but no-less-important factor: enthusiasm. Racing in the Far East generates the kind of public clamour that no longer exists in countries such as Britain and the U.S. Sure, those of us actually involved in racing in the West love it with a passion, but the sport just doesn’t have the kind of public reach that saw more than 60,000 people stay on after racing at Nakayama to pay tribute to retiring legend Orfevre. The scenes at Meydan that followed Just A Way and Gentildonna’s victories were arguably the best the meeting had seen since Dubai Millennium won the renewal for which he was named. Just A Way cemented himself as just about the best horse on the planet with his six-length romp in the G1 Dubai Duty Free, while the 2013 Japan Cup winner Gentildonna emerged triumphant from the kind of brawl she seems to relish in the G1 Sheema Classic. It is surely from this pool of horses that the Dubai World Cup meeting is likely to draw its future stars."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["It is not normally impossible to entice Americans with money, and there is $23 million on offer at Meydan on Saturday, with even third or fourth place in some of the races being worth more than first place in most of the G1 contests at home. So, where are the good American horses who could be in Dubai this week? And why have they stayed away? Is it because – Animal Kingdom aside – U.S.-based runners have performed below expectations in recent years? Is it Meydan’s Tapeta surface? Are trainers intimidated by more stringent medication requirements or fearful their horses will not “go on” after a taxing trip to Dubai? The perception may be yes, but the truth is, at the very least, debatable."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["True to its billing, as a World Cup, the 18th running of the richest horserace on the planet offered fresh courage and inspiration to those determined that frontiers should no longer be perceived as barriers. Over the past couple of years, they have endured dispiriting retrenchment by insular forces on either side of the Atlantic. In the United States, brave attempts to fill in a moat of drugs and dirt seem to have been defeated, for now, by vested interests. In Britain, meanwhile, momentous opportunity and investment have been dissipated by misapprehensions that seem barely less parochial. The champion who united the attention of both cultures on Saturday, however, offers a wholesome reproof to each."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Of the 38 races run over Meydan's Tapeta track, only three have been won by front-runners. "Four have been taken by horses pressing the pace or tracking the leader, with nine taken by trackers in third, fourth or fifth. Winners coming from mid-pack in fields of at least 10 horses number 15, while seven have come from at or near the back of the pack. So 58 percent of this season's Meydan synthetic winners - 22 of 38 - have been closers." Quite different from what one jockey expected prior to Meydan's opening: "Horses coming up from behind will find it very difficult so it’s going to suit horses that like racing up in the first five."
