ARCADIA, Calif. - Dr. Schivel, second by a nose in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Del Mar in November, but last of seven in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita on Dec. 26, is bound for Dubai this spring.
Trainer Mark Glatt said Sunday that Dr. Schivel will make his next start in the Group 1 Golden Shaheen at Meydan Racecourse in the United Arab Emirates on March 26. The $2 million Golden Shaheen is run at six furlongs.
“I think it works out good, timing-wise, and it’s two million bucks,” Glatt said.
