El Kabeir showed a new dimension, rallying from 12 lengths back to win Saturday’s Grade 3 Gotham, his third graded stakes victory from his last four starts. Though his final time wasn’t fast and he defeated a modest group, the horse should be given credit for his consistency and versatility.
Dortmund remained unbeaten with his fifth win, his third straight in a stakes race, all at 1 1/16 miles, all worth points toward a berth in the Kentucky Derby.
Experience may be required to win Wednesday’s $532,000 Queen Mother Champion Chase at two miles over fences at Cheltenham Racecourse.
Salutos Amigos, who has become the top sprinter on the East Coast, will make his next start in the $2 million Golden Shaheen at Meydan on the undercard of the March 28 Dubai World Cup, trainer David Jacobson confirmed Monday afternoon.

While owner Ahmed Zayat hopes American Pharoah can pick up where he left off last fall and get back on track toward the Kentucky Derby, El Kabeir’s performance in Saturday’s Gotham convinced Zayat to give him his shot to run for the roses.
