The Dubai Gold Cup was added to the Dubai World Cup card for the first time this year.
In other races at Meydan Racecourse:
• Daddy Long Legs, trained by Aidan O'Brien, won the $2 million UAE Derby, holding off Yang Tse Kiang. O'Brien's victory came a year after his Master of Hounds lost a photo finish to Khawlah in the same race.
• Ortensia of Australia won the $1 million Al Quoz Sprint, edging Sole Power and favorite Joy And Fun. Hayley Turner became the first woman to ride in a Dubai World Cup meet, finishing 10th on Margot Did.
• Krypton Factor chased down favorite Rocket Man in the $2 million Dubai Golden Shaheen, denying the Singapore-based horse a second consecutive victory in the race.
• Cityscape won the $5 million Dubai Duty Free, beating Mutahadee and City Style by more than four lengths. Ambitious Dragon, the favorite, was seventh and last year's winner, Presvis, finished 14th.
• Cirrus Des Aigles held off a late challenge from main rival St. Nicholas Abbey to win the $5 million Dubai Sheema Classic.
