MIKE de Kock has accepted seven invitations to as many races for his runners on Dubai World Cup night, including an invite for Sanshaawes (photo) to the world’s richest race, the $US10-million Dubai World Cup.
Sanshaawes finished second in last week’s Gr1 Al Maktoum Challenge (Round 3) over the DWC course and distance, 2000m on the all-weather, and will take on some of the world’s best for the big cash.
The other accepted invitations are:
Jalotta (UAE Derby)
Shea Shea (Al Quoz Sprint)
Soft Falling Rain (Godolphin Mile)
Vercingetorix (Dubai Duty Free)
Mars (Sheema Classic)
Star Empire (Gold Cup)
Mike said: “We’ll have good representation for South Africa across the board and we’re looking forward to the occasion. Congratulations to the various owners who will have runners.”
Joe Ramsden-trained Variety Club has also been invited to the Godolphin Mile.

Congratulation! “Sanshaawes” is invited to take part in the World Cup! Well done, The owner, the trainer and the World cup feel like a deja vue. Last time it was Oldlands “Lucky Find” we were watching in the World Cup, only at the old course and with a different rider. It is so wonderful for our horse and our country,
thank you to the team,
Barbara Sanne,( the excited breeder)
Good luck Barbara and your team. Its one heck of an achievement.
Three horses at least from the Hemel n Aarde valley. Remember Jay Peg from across the way too.
Enjoy and be merry.
