American raider Hit Show lived up to his name in sensational fashion, delivering a powerhouse performance to claim the 29th Dubai World Cup (Group 1) at Meydan Racecourse on Saturday night.

Ridden confidently by Kentucky-based French jockey Florent Geroux and trained by Eclipse Award-winning handler Brad H. Cox, the American colt surged to the front in the home stretch and, despite drifting across the track in the final furlong, still had plenty left in the tank.

Hit Show crossed the line a length and three-quarters clear of fellow US contender Mixto, ridden by four-time Dubai World Cup-winning jockey Frankie Dettori, sealing a famous win for the Cox-Geroux partnership.

Ante-post favourite Forever Young from Japan showed signs of race fitness following his grueling win in the $20 million Saudi Cup just four weeks ago to run on for third place while local hope Walk of Stars, trained by defending champion Bhupat Seemar and ridden by French star Mickael Barzalona, ran a courageous race from the inside draw.

Walk of Stars showed early intent and stayed on gamely to finish a creditable fourth in one of the world’s richest and most prestigious races.

Moments after guiding Hit Show to an unforgettable victory Geroux was still coming to terms with the scale of the achievement.
