REAL STEEL benefited from a wonderful ride by Ryan Moore to notch a second winner on Dubai World Cup night for Japan.

Breaking from stall 14 of 15, Pricewise selection Real Steel was steered across to take up a prominent position, finally finding room to squeeze close to the rail at around the half-way mark.

It was Godolphin’s Very Special who made a break for glory rounding the home turn but the strong-staying Real Steel had more than enough to reel her in, before holding off the gallant Euro Charline to win.

The victory was a third in the £2,448,980 race for Japanese-trained runners, following Admire Moon (2007) and more recently Just A Way (2014).

Hit the front too soon

Ryan Moore, who led home a British-based jockeys one-two-three, with Frankie Dettori on Euro Charline and William Buick guiding favourite Tryster to third, admitted he feared he had gone too soon on Real Steel.

“I had a tough trip early on as I was caught three deep,” said Moore.

“I managed to get cover around the turn but I had to send him on sooner than I’d have liked.

“It was a good effort. He had a tough trip as he was drawn out wide, but he’s never run a bad race and is a very brave horse.

“He had to do it the hard way, but he had more quality than the others. Where he goes now is up to connections. So far as I was concerned today was the plan.”

Botti thrilled with Charline

Once again, Euro Charline put in a fantastic display in a Group 1 for owners Team Valor and her trainer Marco Botti paid tribute to the mare.

“She ran a big race,” he said. “It went to plan.

“I said to Frankie [Dettori] it should be a strong pace. She settled midfield and picked up well. She ran her heart out.

“We entered her for Hong Kong but we will take her home and see how she comes out of the races. I would be inclined to say wait for Royal Ascot but we will see what Team Valor want to do.”

Not to be for Tryster

Godolphin’s Tryster appeared unsuited by the even gallop set by early leaders Ghaamer and Very Special, as he was settled at the rear of the field by William Buick.

He made headway towards the centre of the course on straightening but was already some five lengths down on the eventual winner with two furlongs to run.

It was too much for him to overcome, as the Charlie Appleby-trained five-year-old tired in the closing stages.

William Buick had no excuses and said: “That’s how he runs his races and I thought he was great. They went hard all of the way and it rode like a very good race.

“I don’t think he’s ever been as fast as that in his life. It lost a bit of quality without Solow, but it was competitive and I was absolutely delighted with him.”
