Last year’s winner and multi-continental champion Forever Young will headline the main event, the group one, $20 million Saudi Cup, while the lucrative undercard — growing in grade and prestige — has attracted its own luminaries.
Chief among those is Morplay Racing’s Jose D’Angelo-trained Shisospicy, freshly crowned Champion Female Sprinter at America’s Eclipse Awards, who headlines the group two, $2 million 1351 Turf Sprint.
The daughter of superstar sprinter/miler Mitole capped her 2025 campaign with a comprehensive victory in the grade one, $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar over 5 furlongs (1,000 meters), easily besting the boys.
