Well Armed guns down rivals in World Cup romp

WELL Armed turned in a quite brilliant display of front-running to emerge a wide-margin winner of the £2.5m Dubai World Cup at Nad Al Sheba on Saturday night.

The six-year-old is trained by the Irish-born, but American-based, Eoin Harty - the son of Eddie Harty, who rode Highland Wedding to Grand National success in 1969.

Well Armed was sent off at 10-1, having finished third behind Curlin and Asiatic Boy in the world’s richest race 12 months ago.
