Thrilling start to Dubai World Cup Night card

First upset of the night came when Doug Watson's Isolate won the Godolphin Mile.

He strode away down the straight under Tyler Gaffalione to win by several lengths from Law of Peace and the Brazilian bred Atletico El Culano third.

And then for us personally huge excitement when Broome won the 3,200m Gold Cup under a top ride from Ryan Moore.

We have spoken to connections and suggest they enter him in the Melbourne Cup now!  He has waited a long time for his time in the sun and it came today for the 7yo son of Australia in a US $1 million race.

And then while Danyah just won the Al Quoz all the excitement came from The Astrologer's connections with Damian Ryan on board the horse and then the news that they are off to Royal Ascot having just been invited.

Hong Kong connections were delighted with their 4th – Sight Success and 5th – Duke Wai

More news to come.
