Dubai: Highly-regarded trainer S. Padmanabhan is hoping that India’s wonder-filly In The Spotlight can justify the special treatment that will be conferred on her in Dubai by giving a good account of herself when she competes in the 2013 Dubai World Cup Carnival.

Due to the strict quarantine procedures that will be in place during the January 10 to March 30 event at Meydan, In The Spotlight is expected to have an entire barn to herself at the Quarantine Centre in Nad Al Sheba, as quarantine regulations forbid horses from different racing jurisdictions to be housed together.

It is from this imperial residence that Padmanabhan will prepare his star to compete for some of the richest purses on offer at the $37.36 million (Dh137.26 million) extravaganza, with her principal target being the $1 million Dubai Gold Cup (G1) on Dubai World Cup night.

“The unfortunate part of it is India is not producing many horses of her calibre and so Dubai will have to block a whole barn for one horse,” Padmanabhan told Gulf News from his residence in Bengaluru. “But I hope she will perform well and justify the special treatment she is being given.
