The final race of the opening Dubai International Racing Carnival 2011 meeting at Meydan, UAE, was the eighth race on the card, the 22:55 Master Collection Handicap.
This race took place over a distance of 1800m (approximately 1 mile and 1 furlong) for a total prize pool of $175,000 USD – with the winner’s prize money standing at $105,000.
In the closest and most exciting finish of the day, Steele Tango produced a late run and just pipped Godolphin’s Enak to give Ryan Moore a double on the card at the last opportunity. These two were a little way clear of Across the Rhine and Hot Six.
