Ouija Board fails in Classic bid

Ouija Board found it all too much in the desert heat as she and jockey Kieren Fallon were tactically outfought in the $5m Dubai Sheema Classic at Nad al Sheba.

Ed Dunlop’s wonderful performer ran respectably to finish fourth but ultimately had little answer to the Japanese-trained winner Heart’s Cry (11-4), who now looks set to head to Europe for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot in July.
