Wide draw for Ruler in World Cup

Investec Derby winner Ruler Of The World will have to defy a wide draw in stall 12 if he is to win the Dubai World Cup at Meydan on Saturday, when he will be sporting new colours.

Al Shaqab Racing has purchased a 50 per cent share in last season’s Epsom hero and he will race in Sheikh Joaan’s grey silks worn by the likes of Olympic Glory, Toronado and Treve.

The four-year-old Galileo colt will remain in training with Aidan O’Brien and will continue to be ridden by the Ballydoyle handler’s son, Joseph.
