Baffert recalls how Sheikh Mohammed helped save his life in Dubai - News | ...
Quick Glance: Baffert Thanks Sheikh Mohammed for Saving His Life in Dubai
  • Bob Baffert, an American Hall of Fame trainer, recalls the time in the UAE when he suffered a life-threatening heart attack just before the Dubai World Cup and underwent emergency surgery to save his life. Despite his horse not winning, Baffert survived and praised Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for saving his life.

  • Baffert has claimed four Dubai World Cup titles and is sending Newgate into the competition. Frankie Dettori will ride the horse, and Baffert expresses confidence in the jockey who has already won three Dubai World Cups.

  • Baffert also talks about his past victories in Dubai, including the impressive performance of Arrogate. He emphasizes the importance of preparing a horse for such demanding races, especially when it comes to competing internationally.

  • Despite his absence at the Meydan Dubai World Cup day, Baffert could still make waves with Newgate and Dettori. He underscores the significance of a horse being in top form for such challenging competitions, especially when traveling halfway across the world.
