Life Is Sweet a go for Dubai.. UPDATE: Ties up, is retired
Life Is Sweet Confirmed for Dubai World Cup
By Michele MacDonald http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...ubai-world-cup The connections of Life Is Sweet, who unleashed a powerful stretch run to win the Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic (gr. I), have accepted an invitation to take on males including champion Gio Ponti in the $10-million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I) at Meydan Racecourse. Trainer John Shirreffs confirmed the plans on Monday, adding that he believes Life Is Sweet will handle both the World Cup’s 2,000-meter (about 1 1/4-mile) distance on the synthetic Tapeta track and the competition being assembled for the biggest prize in racing history. "I don’t think the distance is an issue whatsoever, and the surface is in her favor, too," Shirreffs said. "Whoever is in the field, I think she’ll compare very well with them." In addition to Gio Ponti, 2009 champion older male and turf male who finished just a length behind Life Is Sweet’s undefeated stablemate Zenyatta in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr. I), others aiming for the Dubai World Cup include racing’s all-time leading female earner, two-time Japanese Horse of the Year Vodka; French classic winner Vision d'Etat, who has won group I races in three countries; English Group 1 winner and Breeders’ Cup Classic third-place finisher Twice Over, and 2009 Pacific Classic Stakes (gr. I) winner Richard's Kid, who won the San Antonio Handicap (gr. II) in his 2010 debut.

Well that's very exciting!
Though I wonder, is the Moss's plan now to win all the big races Jackson did with Curlin, but to do it with girls?
