Sixth renewal of S$27 million Saudi Cup sees 16 classy gallopers from six countries
-
International Group 1 winners Romantic Warrior, Laurel River, White Abarrio and Forever Young are all on course to clash in a glittering renewal of the US$20 million (S$27 million) Group 1 Saudi Cup (1,800m) at the King Abdulaziz racecourse on Feb 22.
Three-time Group 1 Hong Kong Cup winner Romantic Warrior, who is ridden by regular partner James McDonald, will face a new challenge at his first run on the dirt. The Danny Shum-trained gelding will take on last year's Group 1 Dubai World Cup winner Laurel River trained by Bhupat Seemar, and the 2024 Group 3 Saudi Derby winner Forever Young for trainer Yoshito Yahagi.
The strong Japanese contingent is further bolstered by two runners from trainer Noboru Takagi, who fields last year's Saudi Cup runnerup Ushba Tesoro and Wilson Tesoro, while the Shozo Sasaki-trained Ramjet is also set to enter the starting gate.
White Abarrio, who won the 2023 Group 1 Breeders' Cup Classic and the 2025 Group 1 Pegasus World Cup, is now trained by Saffie Joseph Jr. The multiple Group 1 winner ran 10th to Senor Buscador in the same race last year.
The other United States representative will be the Kenny McPeek-trained Rattle N Roll, who won the Group 3 The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup on Jan 25.
