Mystic Guide seeks to do Godolphin proud in landmark World Cup
Trainer Mike Stidham reports big-race favourite is ‘thriving’.
American Mike Stidham feels honoured to be saddling the Dubai World Cup favourite Mystic Guide in the colours of Godolphin in the landmark 25th edition of the race. Fellow countryman Bill Mott won the first renewal with Cigar in 1996 – but Mystic Guide’s owners have since been successful on eight occasions, including the two most recent with Thunder Snow. After the cancellation last year of what would have been the 25th running, due to the coronavirus pandemic, there are three Godolphin runners this time – with Andre Fabre’s Magny Cours and Saeed bin Suroor’s Gifts Of Gold also lining up – but Mystic Guide is their main hope.Favourite for the Dubai World Cup – Mystic Guide 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/vVVdMGrhiH
