Electrocutionist burdened with 'shocking' draw

Godolphin’s hopes of winning Saturday’s Emirates-sponsored Dubai World Cup for a fourth time were dealt a blow after hot favourite Electrocutionist was handed the draw in stall one.

In the 10-year history of the world’s richest race at Nad Al Sheba, no horse to have raced from stall one has managed to finish in the first three placings.
