DUBAI: Thunder Snow stormed to a shock victory in Saturday’s Dubai World Cup to give Godolphin its seventh win in the race, after holding off favorite West Coast. Under Belgian jockey Christophe Soumillon, four-year-old Thunder Snow led from the front ahead of West Coast and cruised to victory by five lengths to win at odds of 8-1. It was a third near-miss in big races for the Bob Baffert-trained West Coast, after finishing second in the Pegasus World Cup and third in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. But Thunder Snow earned redemption after refusing to run at last year’s Kentucky Derby by winning the $10 million race. Mubtaahij completed the places in third, behind stablemate West Coast.
