Ariete Arrollador, As de Trébol and Silverside tomorrow in Meydan

Three Spanish trained horses will run tomorrow in the Dubai meeting

Ariete Arrollador (GB, 2007) [Kingsalsa-Proud Dounna(Kaldoun)], owned by Cuadra Albero, trained by G. Arizkorreta will take part in the Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise (1,200 m, All Weather, 110,000 USD, 1st race of the card). He was second to Barbecue Eddie in his debut in Meydan: Elisalat My Plan
He will be ridden again by Mirco Demuro. Ariete Arrollador won the Premio Cimera (Guineas) in 2010 and is one of the top milers in Spain.

As de Trébol (USA, 2006) [Tapit-Adelphi(Danzig)] owned by Cuadra Chicago and trained by M. Delcher will run in the Dubai Duty Free Foundation (1,400 m, all-weather, 120,000 USD, 2nd race of the card). He was fourth in his previous outing and is a veteran of the Meydan racecourse, this 2012 being his second year. He will be ridden by Borja Fayos

Silverside (USA, 2006) [Pleasantly Perfect-Lyrical Ghost], owned by Cuadra Safsaf (winner of the owner's title in Spain in 2011) and now trained in France by F. Sánchez, will be the top weight in the third race of the card (Dubai Duty Free Handicap, 1,400 m, turf, 175,000 USD). He will be ridden by Olivier Peslier. This is the first race for Silverside this year in Meydan. He also took part in the 2011 Dubai Carnival.
