Winner  of the Dirt Mile, Secret Ambition (GB) is bred by Exceed And Excel (AUS) - Inner Secret (USA) by Singspiel (IRE)

He's been in UAE since 2016, raced on the All Weather at Lingfield in 2015.

Australia’s latest international representatives left for Dubai on Monday.

The Will Clarken-trained pair He’s A Balter and Parsifal will head to the Middle East to tackle support races during the Dubai World Cup carnival.

Clarken said the pair travelled from his Adelaide base to Melbourne on Friday before their 14-hour flight to Dubai.

“They will be in Dubai on Tuesday,” he said.

“Then they will do a few days of not much.”

Clarken reported He’s A Balter would be the first to tackle the local and visiting opposition.

“He’s A Balter will run on Saturday fortnight over there,” Clarken said.

“It’s exciting for the stable and it will be great to see how both horses go over there.”

Young SA jockey Caitlin Jones will ride Clarken’s Dubai runners.

The first time an Australian-trained horse has won a stakes race overseas since 2016 (Chautauqua - G1 Chairmans Sprint Lrize in Hong Kong)

Master of The Seas missed winning the Two Thousand Guineas (G1) at Newmarket in 2021.

The winner of the Jumeriah Derby overnight was Sharar, a Kentucky-bred son of Gun Runner, is out of the Saint Ballado mare Sacre Coeur, making him a half brother to 2017 Eclipse champion turf female Lady Eli. Both Sharar and Lady Eli were bred by Runnymede Farm and Catesby W. Clay. Sharar sold for US$600,000 out of the Eddie Woods consignment at the US Ocala Breeders' Sales' 2022 March Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training.

With The Moonlight easy won by 4 1/2-length victory in the featured G2 Balanchine Stakes on the turf confirmed she's ready for another assault on New York's rich turf filly races this summer.
There was little to the running as jockey William Buick placed the Frankel filly just behind the early speed, rallied through that pack after turning for home and was clearly best. She finished the 1,800 meters (about 1 1/8 miles) in 1:49.47.

In  the Jumeirah Fillies Godolphin fillies finished 1-2 but it wasn't close as Mawj kicked away in the stretch run to win by 8 1/2 lengths from Fairy Cross. Mawj went out to an unchallenged lead in the 1,600-meter turf race, showed the way around the turn, and found no competition through the final 200 meters. Alseyoob was third, 1 1/4 lengths back. Mawj, a homebred daughter of Exceed And Excel (AUS), had the recency advantage over Fairy Cross, having won her first start of 2023 Jan. 27 at Meydan while Fairy Cross had not raced since August. The question was whether Mawj could stay the mile for the first time.
