Well Armed, ridden by Aaron Gryder for US-based trainer Eoin Harty, galloped to a runaway victory in yesterday's $6 million Dubai World Cup, the world's richest horse race. Third last year to Curlin, Well Armed, a 10-1 shot in London betting, made all the running in the 10 furlong (2-km) event and won unchallenged by 14 lengths. Second place in the 14-strong field went to French raider Gloria de Campeao with Saudi Arabian 66-1 outsider Paris Perfect in third. Gryder said: "It felt great. He warmed up great. He put half a length in front (of the others) with no energy and then we could relax a bit."
