Game On Dude hoping for a Dubai invite

[asudevil]

ARCADIA, Calif. – The $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap last Saturday was the richest victory of Game On Dude’s career, but trainer Bob Baffert has his sights set on an even bigger prize.

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.

That's a good spot for him. What does 12th place pay?

Great reporting considering two hours ago the story didn't include anything about him needing an invite.

For what its worth, I don't think he gets one. And if he does, he has no chance. A wash either way, no.

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.
