03/27/2010 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gloria De Campeao, 2009 runner- up, found the winning formula this year to win Saturday's $10 million Dubai World Cup at Meydan Racecourse. This was the first running of the 1 1/4-mile race at the new racetrack.

Gloria De Campeao, ridden by Tiago Pereira, took the lead shortly after start of the world's richest horse race. The seven-year-old had finished second in last year's running, 14-lengths behind Well Armed.

Owned by Estrela Energia Stables and trained by Pascal Bary, Gloria De Campeao still had the lead as the field entered the home stretch. Making a late move down the middle of the stretch was Lizard's Desire with Allybar rallying to the outside of the leader.

The three horses hit the wire together with Gloria De Campeao posting a nose victory over Lizard's Desire and Allybar. Race favorite Gio Ponti finished fourth in the 14 horse field.

"I thought I had won, but as we passed the post, I looked across and the second jockey was celebrating," said winning jockey Tiago Pereira, "so I thought I'd keep quiet and wait for the result. The horse settled in front and I dropped my hands 300 meters out and asked him to kick on. He was so brave and this is all just a dream."

Gloria De Campeao added $6 million to his bankroll which now totals $8.8 million. Bred in Brazil, Gloria De Campeao has won nine of 24 career starts, including two of three starts at Meydan Racecourse.

Two months ago he won the $200,000 Al Maktoum Challenge-Round 1 on the new track's opening race card. Earlier in March the seven-year-old was second to Red Desire in the $300,000 Al Maktoum Challenge.

Gloria De Campeao returned $52.40 and $15.40. Lizard's Desire paid $20.60 and Allybar paid $12.20.
