World Cup glory for Campeao

Pascal Bary’s Gloria De Campeao edged out Lizard’s Desire in a thrilling finish to the Dubai World Cup at Meydan as British-trained raiders disappointed.

The seven-year-old had finished second to Well Armed in the world’s richest race 12 months ago, but was sent off at 16-1 having been beaten in Grade Two company here at the start of the month.
