An unsuccessful return to racing for 2024 Dubai World Cup winner Laurel River and a successful Dubai debut for Hong Kong star Romantic Warrior highlighted an important Friday card at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, but the fatal breakdown of the Godolphin homebred Measured Time cast a shadow over the program.

In his last two starts at seven furlongs at Sunshine Coast Racecourse in Australia, the 7-year-old gelding Inver Park has unleashed a rally that led to wins in mid-November and late December.
For his 2025 debut, Inver Park will be an attractive price to win his first stakes in Australia in Friday’s $100,500 Sunshine Coast Cup at seven furlongs against 14 rivals.
A winner of 7 of 29 starts, the British-bred Inver Park is best known for winning the 29-runner Buckingham Palace Stakes at seven furlongs at Royal Ascot in England in June 2022.
Zac Purton stands alone as the jockey with the most wins in Hong Kong racing history after successes aboard Spirit Of Peace in the third section of the Class 4 Kowloon Park Handicap (1200m) and View Of The World in the second section of the Class 3 Victoria Park Handicap (1200m) at Happy Valley on Wednesday night (22 January).

Fresh from Ka Ying Rising’s stunning triumph in the G1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m) on Sunday (19 January), David Hayes hopes Sight Happy can propel Zac Purton closer towards Hong Kong history at Happy Valley on Wednesday night (22 January).
A clean trip will be vital for Zany Girl when the Southern Hemisphere 2-year-old filly starts for the third time in Saturday’s Kevin Elwick Stakes at 5 1/2 furlongs at Hobart Racecourse in Australia.
Zany Girl won her first two starts from off the pace in five-furlong races at Hobart – against maidens on Dec. 15, and in an allowance race as the odds-on favorite in a field of 10 on Jan. 3.
