Lord Glitters sparkles for O’Meara at Meydan
And Dettori celebrates double delight on Dubai return.
Lord Glitters returned to his best when producing a power-packed finish to land the Group Two Singspiel Stakes at Meydan. The David O’Meara-trained grey was winning for the first time since the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2019 – with that Group One success coming three months after he had finished third in the Dubai Turf. That nine-furlong heat on World Cup night could again be on the agenda, after Lord Glitters ran out a convincing winner over that distance in the hands of Adrie de Vries. The Dutch jockey was replacing Danny Tudhope who was unable to make the trip to Dubai. The eight-year-old only had two horses behind him turning into the straight, but once he hit top gear it was a one-horse race. Lord Glitters powered to victory by three lengths from Zakouski, with Dream Castle a length and a half away in third place.The old boy is a winner again!
