The Dubai Racing Club released the future intent of the connections behind the winning horses from the 13th DWC meeting. While Curlin is due to return to the United States and head to Keeneland within a week with plans undecided, the long-term goals are perhaps a bit clearer for the other five thoroughbred winners.
Honour Devil, winner of the UAE Derby, is being considered for an American campaign, possibly on the turf with the Breeders' Cup Mile a long-term goal. Royal Vintage, trainer Mike deKock told the DRC, could be their main hope in next year's Dubai World Cup after his second place finish to Honour Devil.
Sun Classique, the weight-dropping winner of the Dubai Sheema Classic, is pointed to the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin, following a route similar to Irridescence, then off to the UK for the summer.
Trainer Herman Brown says Jay Peg may also go this route with a stop in Singapore as well on the schedule.
Americans Diamond Stripes and Benny The Bull are likely for the Breeders' Cup races appropriate to their winner efforts on Saturday, the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile and the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
