Aidan O'Brien has removed his team of runners from consideration for next weekend's G1 Dubai World Cup because of the growing concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Racing Post reports. O'Brien told that publication, “With such concerns over international travel we are really disappointed not to be able to go to the Dubai World Cup. We were really looking forward to the meeting and felt that we had a very strong team representing us this year.”
O'Brien's Dubai team was set to include G1 Investec Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the globetrotting mare Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), dual Group 1-winning miler Circus Maximus (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Group 1-winning stayer Kew Gardens (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and the Classic-placed mare Fleeting (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}), among others.
