Sheikh buys interest in Morning Line with eye to World Cup
By Mike Welsch

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed al Maktoum, who races under the nom de course of Zabeel Racing, has purchased an interest in Morning Line from Thoroughbred Racing Legends Stable. Morning Line, runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, figures to be among the favorites in Saturday’s Grade 1 Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park.

“We’re looking for a World Cup horse,” said Omar Trevino, racing manager for Zabeel Racing. “Morning Line was very good at the end of his 3-year-old campaign, and from looking at his pedigree, we don’t think he’s a miler. He has speed, which we love, but we’re hoping he will go a route of ground, and if he runs well in the Donn we plan to bring him to Dubai for the World Cup.”
I think you may be mixing up the Sheiks.

LOL.. Not necessarily. Shadwell & Zabeel seem to have a better aura around them for whatever reason.

Who is the money behind Thoroughbred Legends? You had to figure that if they somehow did finally have a good horse then they were going to have to look at selling because all we've seen for better than two years now are high ticket horses that have done very little on the racetrack.
