Dubai: Curlin, world's top-rated horse and American Horse of the Year, is set to make his eagerly-awaited reappearance at the Dubai International Racing Carnival later this month, before a crack at the Dubai World Cup on March 29.
Trainer Steve Asmussen said he plans to ship Curlin to Dubai on February 15, with arrival the following morning.
Assistant trainer Scott Blasi, who has overseen some of Asmussen's previous Dubai runners on their trips to the United Arab Emirates, will accompany Curlin.
Asmussen intends to prep the four-year-old son of Smart Strike in a 2,000-metre handicap on the dirt on February 28 at the Nad Al Sheba Racecourse.
