2021 Dubai World Cup Betting

Now that the Pegasus World Cup saw Knicks Go listed as one of the top international handicap horses, he looks set to tackle a much deeper field as he is likely to head to Dubai and keep that good run of form going. The Brad Cox trainee has somehow rocketed to success over his past few starts and looks to be running like a world beater.

He is set to face a mysterious and talented contender in the likes of Bob Baffert’s Charlatan and that’s a horse who has shown enough ability to handle virtually any runner in the world at 1m2f. 

The Dubai World Cup was cancelled last year but is set to go ahead this time around and the prices being offered by the bookmakers are extremely tantalizing. There is still plenty of time before the race, however, and we all know that one wrong moment or a sudden illness could see a horse withdrawn from consideration so it’s worth keeping that in mind before unloading on any of these contenders. 

You’ll find that the ante post market doesn’t see a huge difference between the likes of Charlatan and Knicks Go as they are both available at a best price of around 6/1 - which is surely more than either of them will go off at on the day. Baffert in particular has a great track record in Dubai and we all remember the heroic performance from Arrogate a couple of years back. 

Charlatan looks to be very much in that mold and it’s especially interesting since he has been off the track for a while and will likely go to Dubai fresh and ready to run as opposed to some of the others who have had a lengthy travel and race schedule during the build up.
