Dubai World Cup Betting Tips
The event may still be a bit away, but our Dubai World Cup betting tips have already arrived. So, here are a few things that could give you an edge.
Forever Young to Win It
Currently at evens, Forever Young is a clear early favourite for our Dubai World Cup racing tips. The Japanese horse has won 7 out of 9 races and is well on course to be a legendary stallion.
Imperial Emperor for a Forecast
Priced at 5/1, Imperial Emperor is an excellent Irish horse. He’s got over a dozen races under his saddle and has 6 wins in total. The 5-year-old horse looks bright, but can he overcome Forever Young? It’s tough, so a forecast could be a great Dubai World Cup online betting option.
Horse Owner – Godolphin Racing
Godolphin Racing is the most successful owner in the competition history with 9 wins since 2000. Most recent wins include 2018, 2019 and 2021. They’re likely to continue their legacy, so they’re a shoo-in for betting on the Dubai World Cup.
How We Select Our Dubai World Cup Betting Tips
There’s a lot to consider when creating Dubai World Cup tips. Here are all the metrics we research to make the best possible horse racing tips.
Like every athlete, horses have a peak age. Between the ages of 4 and 6, a horse hits peak form.
It's a weighted average over 6 months of previous speed ratings from the competing horses. The class shows a race’s pace, and what is needed to win. Speed is obviously crucial.
Milage has a huge effect. Some horses are sprinters, while some are best in a marathon. We only tip horses who are best suited to the track’s distance.
Form is always important, a horse who’s on a high will tend to keep that up, barring any external factors, so we keep a good eye on previous races on similar tracks or lengths. The Dubai World Cup betting odds will reflect this.
Weight varies wildly on horses, with the average ranging from 1037 pounds (470 kg) to 1985 pounds (900 kg). Most races will have weight limits in place to keep the competition fair.
A horse who can handle rain, muddy terrain, dust, hills and turns is excellent to punt on, especially on ante-post, when you aren’t sure what could happen on the day.
But can they do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke? Weather can change the track and affect the races, so finding horses who can handle adverse weather can be helpful. The odds on the Dubai World Cup favour horses who can handle the heat.
Different courses work for different horses. You don’t see many turf runners on dirt track. Thus, we make sure to only suggest specialists in their fields.
Dubai World Cup Jockey & Trainer Stats
It’s not just the horse that wins you races. A quality jockey and an experienced trainer can go a long way to guarantee success in the sport. In Dubai World Cup racing is the same, so here are the top jockeys and trainers of the last three years to keep an eye out.

Dubai World Cup Latest Trends
Looking back at past Dubai World Cup results can be a great way to find interesting stats, worthy of a punt. Let’s hover a few trends that you should pay attention to:
-
3 of the last 4 Dubai World Cup winners have been foaled in the United States.
-
Only 3 of the 28 winners were over the age of 6. The last time this happened was in 2015.
-
The reigning champion owners, Juddmonte Farms, have previously won the competition in 2017.
-
Saeed bin Suroor is the most successful trainer in the event's history with 9 wins on 6 different horses.
-
Lauren Rivers romped the last Dubai World Cup, winning by 8 ½ lengths. He’s third favourite right now and is in contention for a repeat.
Meydan Racecourse Tips
The Meydan racecourse is a brilliant dirt track and the largest racecourse in the Middle East by some distance. The flat ground track measures 8.75 furlongs (1,750m) and is a left-handed run.
Of course, horses who are trained for dirt will excel here. It’s also a classic horse race length, so sprinters or long-distance runners might beat a slight disadvantage.
