2007 Dubai World Cup Results

Winning trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said, "Sheikh Mohammed hired me in 1993, but it was Sheikh Hamdan who adopted me. He's been like family to me. It was such a tough decision to leave here, but I was missing my family too much, and moved back in 2003. That's why coming back here and winning the Dubai World Cup for Sheikh Hamdan is something I won't be able to beat." Asked where Invasor would start next, he said, "We might look at the Suburban Handicap at Belmont on June 30 next, but this was the real aim."

Jockey Fernando Jara added, "This is very, very special. To come to Dubai and win the world's richest race is just unbelievable. It looked like it would be a tough race and Premium Tap made it difficult for us. I thought Discreet Cat would be on the lead, but I did not see him, and just concentrated on my horse. He is such a tough horse and I owe him such a lot."
