Trainer D. Wayne Lukas said Monday that the Oaklawn-based Bravazo remains on target for the $12 million Dubai World Cup on March 30. The horse who has earned $2 million is coming off a fourth-place finish in the $9 million Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park. 

Bravazo will be flown back to Florida next month and on March 18 is scheduled to depart Fort Lauderdale for Dubai, said Lukas.

"We leave on March 18th, as I understand it," he said of the trip Bravazo will take with other runners headed to Dubai. 

Bravazo on Monday was scheduled to have his first work since the Pegasus on Jan. 26, but after torrential rains hit Sunday, carried on overnight, and continued through Monday, the work will be rescheduled. 

"He's coming up on a work and if it wouldn't have been raining it would have been today," Lukas said Monday. "Due to the weather, we probably won't get a work in until Thursday. He's so fit and done so much, I don't need to push the worktab." 

Bravazo is a Grade 2 winner for breeder and owner Calumet Farm.
