Well Armed improved, though impossible to assess |
|
Globeform’s Ratings Review - Dubai World Cup night 2009:
In winning the last Dubai World Cup (G1) staged at Nad Al Sheba by 14 langths, Well Armed made himself an ‘impossible horse to assess’. If chief rivals like Asiatic Boy, Albertus Maximus and Casino drive had run anywhere near their true form, this run would have been a sensational performance. They did not. That, more than the unprecedented winning margin, makes compiling a rating for Well Armed’s big win almost impossible. At best it is educated guesswork, though there is no doubt that the son of Tiznow has improved greatly in recent weeks.
Form analysis of each race, with Globeform ratings achieved by all top five finishers at Nad Al Sheba, now posted.

Mike de Kock saddles the talented Lucky Find, hopefully also primed for a big run, while visiting performers like Cat Junior, representing top English trainer Brian Meehan, and Informed, shipped in by the winning trainer two years ago, Doug O’Neill, are also likely to make an impact.
