Rewilding turned on the speed down the stretch to win the $5 million Dubai Sheema Classic, handing Dubai ruler Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum's Godolphin Stables a third victory.
Dangerous Midge of England raced to an early lead Saturday but was passed by Rulership, which held a slim lead at the halfway point. But the Japanese horse faded down the stretch as favorite Rewilding outran the field over the final 250 yards to beat the Saudi-owned Redwood by 3 1/4 lengths.
It was the second win of the day for jockey Frankie Dettori and a third for Godolphin, which saw Khawlah win the UAE Derby and Skysurfer take the Godolphin Mile.
