Newmarket run on the cards for Spirit Dancer before Middle East adventure
Bahrain and Saudi Arabia trips proved rewarding in the red and white of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Spirit Dancer is set to follow the same route to his successful campaign in the Middle East last winter, with a tune-up run at Newmarket before heading off on his globetrotting adventure. The seven-year-old, who carries the red and white silks of part-owner and breeder Sir Alex Ferguson, took his career earnings to over GBP 1.7million following victory in the Bahrain International Trophy in November before landing the even more lucrative Neom Turf Cup in Riyadh in February. He was last seen in Meydan for the Longines Dubai Sheema Classic in March, but the Frankel gelding was unable to land a blow on Dubai World Cup night, finishing 11th of 12 runners.It’s Fergie time in Saudi!! 🇬🇧
