On March 26, Beijing time, the 2022 Dubai World Cup race day was successfully held at the famous Maidan Racecourse, which was also the first time that the event resumed live spectators after the outbreak of the epidemic. 131 racehorses from 19 countries competed together for eight spectacular races.
In 2020, due to the new crown epidemic, the Dubai World Cup was cancelled; although it was held as scheduled in 2021, it was closed in the empty stadium and did not return to the grand situation of the past. This year, the Dubai World Cup finally ushered in spectators, and the number one pre-race hit was Life Is Good, a racehorse owned by CHC Jasper Horse Owners Club, which has just topped the world's no. 1 horse racing throne.
The Dubai World Cup with a prize money of 12 million US dollars and a distance of 2000 meters, "Good Life" is the number one hit on betting platforms around the world, and the best gate of The 1st gear was drawn before the game, "Good Life" has been staged in the 1800 meters, 2000 meters have staged a championship winning drama to the end, many people think that the race has ended early, and the other 9 horses can only compete for the second place.
But the game will not go according to the script, not to mention this is the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup! In the first 1800 meters, "Good Life" has been released after taking the lead in the gate, but it lacks the domineering spirit to compete for the title in the 2000 meters Pegasus World Cup. First surpassed by Frankie Dettori's "Country Grammer" (patrilineal: tonal composer" Tonalist; maternal line: Arabian Song), then surpassed by "Hot Rod Charlie" and Japanese racing foal "Chuwa Wizard", and finally crossed the finish line in fourth place.
The winner's colt won a first prize of US$6,960,000 (about RMB 44.54 million) in the first prize. "One Fame" won the runner-up at the $20 million Saudi Cup on February 26 a month ago, winning a prize of $3.5 million (about 22.3 million yuan), and the cumulative prize money of two games in one month exceeded 66.6 million yuan, the absolute "gold sucking king"!
In this game, "Good Life" wore one of the joint horse owners, CHC Jasley Horse Club partner Win Star Racecourse, the champion racehorse "became famous", and The Winning Star Racecourse is also one of the joint horse owners. ChC Masters Main Club had two foals in the race in 2019, with its foals Audible and Yoshida doing well, finishing fifth and sixth respectively.
The victory of "one famous" also allowed the horse trainer Bafuda to gain a little comfort. Bafuda, who is deeply involved in the doping scandal, still has many lawsuits to fight, and the stable is punished to be dissolved on April 4, and it is not simply arranging a deputy trainer to solve a series of troubles.

It is worth noting that the champion legendary jockey Deituli has won the Dubai World Cup three times in 2000, 2003 and 2006. At the age of 50, he is crowned again, becoming one of the most tied jockeys in the history of the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup, adding a brilliant page to his jockey career!
Country Grammer was born in 2017 to the American stallion Tonalist and the American stallion Tonalist to arabbian Song, daughter of the American stallion Forestry. So far, he has won 10 games, 4 championships, 2 Asian and 1 season, with a total prize money of 10,837,320 US dollars (about 69 million yuan).
After two years, the Dubai World Cup has fully returned
Before the Pegasus World Cup and the Saudi Cup, the Dubai World Cup represented the "most expensive event in the world" for a long time, not only ranking first in terms of prize money, but also star riders and famous colts will appear in Dubai on this day, and at the same time, as a travel project in Dubai, it attracts tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world.
However, due to the outbreak of the epidemic, the event of that year was cancelled in 2020, and only the horse owners and a small number of guests were invited to attend in 2021, and this competition was also the first time that the audience resumed on-site viewing after the outbreak of the epidemic, and the scene was no less grand than in 2019.
Yesterday's race day had a total prize money of $30.5 million (about 190 million yuan), with a maximum prize money of $12 million for a single event.

The second innovation is that in the performance show after this year's competition, in addition to the grand fireworks show and high-specification concert, the drone performance has been added, and the strong sense of technology is even more amazing and unforgettable!
In addition, the Dubai Chief, Hamdan and princely princes were all present, and the audience and various boxes were full, all of which signaled the full return of the Dubai World Cup!
