William Haggas has plenty of options for Dubai Honour

Dubai Honour secured a significant victory by winning the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, his first Group One success in Europe. The seasoned globetrotter, trained by William Haggas, had previously achieved two Group One wins in Australia but had yet to triumph at the highest level closer to home.

After finishing third in the Grand Prix de Chantilly, Dubai Honour left no doubts about his abilities in his latest race. Jockey Tom Marquand guided the six-year-old to a commanding length and three-quarters victory over Feed The Flame, trained by Pascal Bary, who had finished third in the Coronation Cup.

Following this impressive win over a mile and a half, Dubai Honour's odds for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on July 27 were halved to 10-1 by Paddy Power. This victory opens up a range of options for the talented horse moving forward.

Mohamed Obaida's racing manager, Philip Robinson, noted Dubai Honour's continued improvement as he ages and highlighted his adaptability to different distances and track conditions. Robinson hinted at potential future races for Dubai Honour, including the possibility of competing in the Hong Kong Vase in December.

With Dubai Honour's proven ability as a traveller, there is optimism surrounding his future races and accomplishments, with trainer William Haggas considering various options for the talented horse.
