Mishriff mission to give Thady Gosden dream start
Saudi Cup winner goes for Sheema Classic gold.
As dream starts to a new career go, winning the Dubai Sheema Classic with Mishriff would be hard to beat for Thady Gosden. A regular presence on racecourses in recent years representing his father John, he now shares the British licence at Clarehaven Stables in Newmarket. The team enjoyed a first winner on a joint ticket at Lingfield on Friday -and while Mishriff runs solely in Gosden senior’s name in Dubai, it is the younger man who has been overseeing preparations at Meydan.🏆 MISHRIFF flies home to take The Saudi Cup!

“He takes everything in his stride,” he said, of Mishriff. “He travelled very well to Saudi and enjoyed the training out there, and it’s been the same here. “I think he likes the routine of coming out on to the track, doing a lap and going back in. It’s nothing too stressful at all. “He’s still holding his condition well from all the travelling. Obviously its a pretty long way there and back, and then a month later come back out here, but he’s taken it all very well so far – we’ll find out on Saturday.” As well as winning connections a fortune, Mishriff proved his versatility in the Saudi Cup on dirt but now steps up in trip and goes back on the turf.
