Jockey Pat Cosgrave is thinking ahead to the Melbourne Cup after Gifts of Gold wins the Red Sea Handicap
Following the victory of sprint star Space Blues (IRE), Godolphin s day in Saudi Arabia just got even better when, at the other end of the distance spectrum stayer Gifts Of Gold (IRE) capitalized on a perfect trip in the Red Sea Turf Handicap to land the US $2.5 million contest by a length and a quarter from Spanish Mission (USA), with fellow Godolphin raider Secret Advisor (FR) running home strongly to take third.

Frankie Dettori returns to action on the opening night of the 2021 Dubai World Cup carnival with six rides including one-time Derby hope Military March.
Dettori, who turned 50 last month, flew out out for the carnival on Tuesday and is set to compete for the first time since finishing second on Global Giant in the Bahrain International Trophy in November.
The Italian jockey combines with Saeed bin Suroor and Godolphin for his five of his six rides, headlined by Military March, who finished fourth behind Kameko in last season’s 2,000 Guineas.
Unbeaten as a juvenile, Military March had Bin Suroor dreaming of Derby glory after his encouraging Guineas performance at Newmarket and had been as short as 5-1 for the Epsom Classic, but suffered an unfortunate setback in June.
