2014 Dubai World Cup Betting Preview Pt 1

The world is anxiously awaiting the kick off of the widely-anticipated Dubai World Cup - the richest horse race in the world and the most rewarding single day in sports. While America doesn’t have any representatives this year attempting to build off of what Animal Kingdom was able to pull off last year, Europe and Asia are very well represented and there are a number of very plausible winners set to face off in this big contest.

At this point in time, Ruler of the World has been considered the 4/1 ante post favourite with most major bookmakers and the Coolmore-trained contender will probably take a substantial amount of money in the build-up to the big race. 

While many contenders are using this as a genuine kick-off to their 2014 campaigns for the flat season, you have to respect a number of the Asian shippers and the fact that many of them are still bang in-form. 

The Fugue is the other really interesting contender in the mix right now and this talented mare has absolutely every reason to be here attempting to take on the big boys and the bookmakers have her priced as the significant second choice in the wagering. You can expect her to trade around a 5/1 listing with some very interesting variance in the US and European betting markets. 

Military Attack, a high-profile contender from Hong Kong is ready to ship in and do his best to get revenge on Akeed Mofeed - who was able to get the better of him when the pair tangled in Hong Kong during the International races. Military Attack is trading at a competitive 7/1 while Akeed Mofeed is a longer odds selection at a 10/1 price putting him right alongside a number of contenders.
