Todd Pletcher's only runner at this year's Dubai World Cup meeting, AP Arrow, stretched his legs with a gallop of approximately 12 furlongs. He was workmanlike about his stretch and also went down to the starting gate and schooled. Pletcher has sent more horses in the past to minimal success. Friendly Island was second in last year's Dubai Golden Shaheen.
Reports this week indicate that Todd Pletcher is flying into Dubai just before the races and will fly out just after. No vacation for one of America's leading trainers.
