Mystic Guide has won the final race of the night for Godolphin at the silver jubilee of the Dubai World Cup, and the $12 million prize purse.

The American challenger, ridden by Luis Saez and trained by Michael Stidham, was the favourite of fourteen top contenders vying for the crown.

There were no fans at this years' event, instead people were tuning in from across the globe.

The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
