Tadhg O'Shea was the toast of Dubai as he rode Laurel Rivers to a sensational wide-margin victory in the Dubai World Cup for local trainer Bhupat Seemar

Irish jockey Tadhg O'Shea clinched the biggest victory of his career at the Dubai World Cup. O'Shea guided Laurel Rivers to an impressive win in the race, earning him more in one race than Paul Townend, Jack Kennedy and Rachael Blackmore made this season.

Despite his last breathtaking Group Three win by nearly seven lengths over a mile, the decision to lengthen the distance he'd run seemed risky. But under O'Shea's confident direction, it proved to be a wise risk, as he kept increasing the gap between them and their rivals. "He behaved like a pony; he hit the gates and did everything from the front, it was unbelievable. He gave himself every chance to get the distance, it's an amazing feeling."
