One of the highlights of the Dubai World Cup Carnival is the number of returning equine heroes we get to see each year.

This week’s Group 2 Singspiel Stakes – Friday’s official feature – is a great example of this. Leading the charge is the great grey Lord Glitters, back in Dubai for a third year. The nine-year-old, trained in the UK by David O’Meara, won this race last year, also adding the G1 Jebel Hatta, and will be hard to beat again.
