Jungle Cat won the Group 1, $1 million Al Quoz Sprint over a pair of Peter Miller-trained American invaders, Stormy Liberal and Conquest Tsunami. Charlie Appleby trains Jungle Cat for Godolphin, and James Doyle rode the winner, who ran 1200 meters, or about six furlongs, in 1:09.37/
The race turned bizarre just before the start when favored Blue Point, also trained by Appleby for Godolphin, was found to be bleeding from the nose and was quickly scratched.
