It was the 16th running of the Dubai World Cup. The winner was Yoshimi Ichikawa's Victoire Pisa, a four-year-old dark bay or brown colt trained in Japan by Katsuhiko Sumii and ridden by Mirco Demuro. Victoire Pisa's victory was the first in the race for his jockey, trainer and owner and the first for a horse trained in Japan. Victoire Pisa had been the champion three-year-old colt in Japan in 2010 when he had won the Satsuki Shō and the Arima Kinen. Before being sent to Dubai he had been campaigned exclusively on turf: the World Cup was his first race on a synthetic surface. In the 2011 Dubai World Cup he started a 20/1 outsider and won by half a length from another Japanese horse Transcend (a dirt specialist), with the Godolphin runner Monterosso a neck away in third. The 2/1 favourite Twice Over finished ninth of the fourteen runners.https://www.racingpost.com/results/1231/meydan/2011-03-26/527363 Dubai World Cup result Racing Post 26 March 2011 2014-04-03 Race details Sponsor: Emirates Purse: £6,410,256; First prize: £3,846,153 Surface: Tapeta Going: Standard Distance: 10 furlongs Number of runners: 14 Winner's time: 2:05.94 Full result Pos.
