2018 Dubai World Cup Betting Preview PT 1

There is a lot to like about the way that the upcoming 2018 Dubai World Cup will play out and it really appears as though we’re going to have the usual round of American dominance as the big time west coast USA imports appear to be the key headliners for the build-up to one of the world’s richest horse races.

Last year, we were privy to a performance for the ages as the top-ranked animal on the planet at the time - Juddmonte Farms’ Arrogate - was able to conjure up a come-from-behind effort to put away some of the best thoroughbreds anywhere and make them look absolutely ordinary.

Though Arrogate floundered later on in the year once he got back to America - losing twice at Del Mar prior to defeat on the third time of asking in the big money Breeders’ Cup Classic. There has always been talk about the Dubai Bounce but you have to wonder whether it will happen again this time around following the 2018 Dubai World Cup.

This time around you can expect another popular Bob Baffert trainee in West Coast highlighting the affairs this time around. You’ll find him trading at around a 9/2 price tag in the ante post markets right now and you can expect that price to drop - particularly if he ships over early and takes a winning prep race. This would probably see his listing drop anywhere near a 5/2 margin at this crucial point in the ante post markets.

There are also a few books who list West Coast as low as a 7/2 listing.
