The upset winner of the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1), Furthest Land is under consideration for the 2010 Dubai World Cup at Meydan. A narrow winner in a frenetic finish, Furthest Land was a bargain $35,000 purchase from a claiming race at Belmont Park for owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey. The Ramseys owned 2005 Dubai World Cup winner Roses In May.
Furthest Land, a son of Smart Strike, has shown an affinity for synthetic surfaces, scoring a win over Polytrack at Keeneland before taking the Kentucky Cup Classic (G2) over the same surface at Turfway Park. The win in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile was over Pro-Ride at Santa Anita. According to a Daily Racing Form article, Furthest Land will run twice at Santa Anita, in the San Pasqual on 9 January and the San Antonio on 7 February.
