Dubai Honour is set to continue his globetrotting adventures and head to Italy later this month before a possible tilt at the Japan Cup at the end of November.
A real stalwart of William Haggas’ Newmarket yard, the gelding, who runs in the colours of the late Mohammed Obaida, has won Group Ones in Australia and France.
He was last seen finishing less than two lengths behind last year’s King George hero Goliath in the Grosser Preis von Baden and showed his well-being in a gallop with esteemed stablemate Economics before racing at Newmarket on Saturday.
Haggas said: “He’s seven years old and chasing money, so I think he will go to Italy next (Gran Premio del Jockey Club).
“He’s in races in Italy, Germany and France, but Italy has the most money available.”
The Somerville Lodge handler added: “He’s in the Japan Cup and because he won a Group One that is a ‘win and you’re in’ he qualifies for a $200,000 bonus just for turning up, never mind where he finishes, so obviously that is tempting.”
