He is part of the Ballydoyle contingent - but an interest was just sold to Mrs. Fitriani Hay (owner of Redding Colliery, among others). They had one starter in Dubai history - Powerscourt finished fifth in the 2005 Dubai Sheema Classic.

Maybe Baffert can pitch this one to Zabeel for a pile, then all of a sudden
Pat would like his chances to get into the race and win

On Tuesday, Baffert said he wants to start Game On Dude in the $10 million Dubai World Cup at Meydan Racecourse in the United Arab Emirates on March 26 – if he can gain a berth.

Baffert was in contact Tuesday with Dubai World Cup representatives who have told him that Game On Dude is not a certain starter. The race has a maximum field of 14 starters.

“We’re waiting for an invite,” Baffert said. “We’re on the outside looking in right now. They said they’d let me know in a couple of days.

Wondering where you saw that in print, or some other source. Mendip is likely out of the DWC and going to the Godolphin Mile or Dubai Duty Free, per Crisford today.
