• Japan’s Victoire Pisa wins Dubai World Cup: Japan’s Victoire Pisa won the $10 million World Cup by a half length, capturing the world’s richest horse race in a lift to the disaster-ravaged country. Three Japanese horses were entered in Saturday’s race in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Transcend was the least-known of the trio. It stormed out of the gate and led much of the way, with Irish Derby winner Cape Blanco and long-shot Monterosso coming on. As the horses headed down the stretch, Victoire Pisa broke from the pack to beat Transcend.
