Prince reigns on belated return
A two-and-a-half-length defeat of Jet Away, one of a small field of older horses comfortable at the level of the Dubai Duty Free Conditions Stakes, is not a firm guide of whether the colt could justify his entry in the Qipco Champion Stakes, even if little more could be demanded from his first start for almost a year.
Dubai Prince was spoken of as either a 2000 Guineas or Derby horse in the spring, having won both his starts at two for Dermot Weld, until a hairline fracture to an area in his pelvis intervened.
