The soft thump of Jamie Osborne’s hand on Heart of Honor’s shoulder said everything. A gentle kiss on the gelding’s neck followed, a quiet moment between trainer and horse before the bustle of Meydan Racecourse took over. Beside him stood his daughter, jockey Saffie Osborne, back from injury and visibly emotional as she prepared to reunite with the horse she calls “one of the most genuine partners I’ve ever ridden.” The pair headline Friday’s Dubai Racing Carnival card, with the focus keyword “Heart of Honor” taking centre stage once more.

Heart of Honor, now a gelding, makes his seasonal return in the Palm Jebel Ali Conditions race after a campaign that took him from a nose defeat in the G2 UAE Derby to brave runs in both the G1 Preakness and G1 Belmont. Meydan has always felt like home—his two career wins came here—and Osborne hopes the familiar surroundings spark another surge forward.

“This looks a good spot to start him back,” the trainer said. “He will tighten up for the run. His big goals are still down the road, but hopefully he’s fit enough to be the one they all have to beat.”

He faces seven rivals, including Listed Al Bastakiya winner Galactic Star and grey newcomer Gray Boss, who impressed on debut just two weeks ago.

Meshtri Aims to Make History

The feature, the Listed Dubai Creek Mile, brings another compelling narrative as Meshtri attempts to become the first dual winner of the race. Trainer Michael Costa believes the gelding is exactly where he needs to be.

“Meshtri is back to his best,” Costa said with confidence. “This is the perfect point for him to kick off the season, and we’re expecting him to improve from here.”

Among those lining up against him is the seasoned campaigner Desert Wisdom, a horse who has carried the colours of the Ahmed Al Shemaili team with distinction. Jockey Ray Dawson, reunited with the chestnut, hopes a fresh start brings back the spark.

“He’s had a little time off,” Dawson noted. “When he’s right, he’s very good around Meydan. A short break might be exactly what he needed.”

Smart System Draws Confidence in 1400m Clash

The second-last race, the Como Residences Handicap over 1400m, appears wide open, but Dawson is bullish about Smart System’s chances after guiding him last season to two wins over this very track.

“I really like this horse,” he said. “His last run over a mile stretched him a bit, but he still shaped like the winner until the final 300 metres. Back in trip, with a run under his belt, he could be one of my better rides of the night.”

Go Chrome Go, an eight-time winner in South America, also makes a long-awaited return. Trainer Julio Olascoaga is simply pleased to have him racing again.

“He’s back after a long time away, but his issues look behind him. His trial was good—we’re excited to see him back in action.”

Future Stars Step Out in Maiden Contests

The Thoroughbred action begins with two highly anticipated maiden events. The Bay Grove Residences for fillies sees Ahmad Bin Harmash saddling three—Dialed To Dubai, She’s Good, and Yuno—with stable jockey Connor Beasley choosing Yuno. Dawson partners Dialed To Dubai, who caught the eye in trials.

“It’s her first day in school,” Dawson said, “but she’s shown enough to suggest she’ll learn plenty and go the right way.”

Another debut runner attracting interest is Tago Mago, trained by Jamie Osborne and owned by Jim and Claire Bryce—also owners of Heart of Honor.

“She ran with promise at Southwell,” Osborne said. “She breezed well on the dirt here and should improve again.”

Olascoaga’s Tjareed, who trialled well against the colts, is another likely contender.

Juvenile Colts Line Up for 1600m Test

The Palm Beach Towers Maiden over 1600m has drawn 11 runners, including two for Charlie Appleby—Devon Island under James Doyle, and National History under Richie Mullen. Osborne also sends out Decalogue and Brotherly Love, the latter a half-brother to Heart of Honor.

“Saffie has chosen Brotherly Love, but I’m not sure she’s on the right one,” the trainer admitted with a smile. “He’s a big unit and will learn plenty. Decalogue, meanwhile, has improved a lot—he’s guaranteed to handle the surface.”

Group 2 Bani Yas Opens the Evening

The meeting opens with the G2 Bani Yas for Purebred Arabians, led by dual G1 winner Mubeed. Dawson, who has partnered him for both top-level victories, is optimistic.

“Mubeed needs no introduction. Seven furlongs might be a touch sharp, but if he’s ready, he could outclass them.”

AF Alajaj, returning at age eight, also commands respect. Karl Oertel—representing owner Khalid Al Nabooda—hopes this is the season the veteran earns the major win he has narrowly missed.

“He deserves that elusive G1,” Oertel said. “Hopefully this year will be his year.”

Racing begins at 5:30pm, with General Admission priced at AED10.

The November chill hadn’t quite settled over the grandstand when a trainer pressed a quick kiss to his filly’s nose, a small gesture against the cold that drew a few soft smiles from those nearby. It was the kind of human moment that often defines an evening at Woodbine Racetrack November 20, a raceday shaped as much by emotion as competition. Under the lights, with breath hanging visibly in the air, the stage was set for a vibrant late-season showcase where eight races promised speed, grit and the final sparks of autumn ambition.

Fans arriving wrapped in scarves and heavy coats will find the night warming steadily as the first contest goes to post at 5:30 PM, a brisk $26,200 dash over 5½ furlongs. Seven runners line up in this sharply tuned opener, where Come On Big Lou, Go Jimmy Go, and Miah Said are expected to push the pace early. Each brings a slightly different rhythm to the track—Lou with his measured strength, Jimmy with youthful urgency, and Miah with the kind of underestimated spark that can catch a field off guard. It sets a spirited tone for the hours to follow.

An intriguing Starter Optional sprint at 5:59 PM will keep the energy high, even as temperatures dip. The nine mares and fillies assembling for the $40,700 contest arrive with contrasting profiles but similar determination. Tabloid Material, ever tactical, looks ready to impose herself, while Souper Sunday carries the dependable strength of a runner who rarely misfires. Garnet and Gold continues her upward climb, and Love You Lippy, bold and willing, may become the emotional favourite of the field should she find that late kick under the glow of the evening lamps.

The night deepens and stretches at 6:28 PM when the first two-turn test unfolds. Eight runners meet for an Optional Claiming route at one mile and one-sixteenth, carrying a healthy $63,800 purse. King Rosso projects authority from the outset, though the youthful verve of Holiday Snooze could reshape the dynamic if left alone up front. Yorkton’s Honour possesses a strong, measured style, while Lonny’s Gamble, still learning but brimming with potential, may grow stronger with every stride. Every runner arrives with ambition; only one will find the perfect blend of timing and temperament.

A seasoned group gathers at 6:57 PM for another route over the same distance, this time a $56,100 contest featuring veteran campaigners who know this surface as well as the rhythm of their own breath. Malibu Mambo brings a sense of the familiar, a horse whose presence steadies the field, while Lasting Silence—younger, hungry, yet respectful of his elders—may disrupt expectations. War in Charge thrives on resilience, and Ever Dangerous has long shown he can ignite when the moment appears. Expect this race to play out like a quiet duel, each move deliberate and strategic.

The sprints return at 7:26 PM with a $39,900 test over 6½ furlongs, drawing nine runners eager to make one final mark before winter tempers the division. Stirling Castle carries natural urgency, the kind that leaves little time for second guesses. Captivating Name stands as an emerging force, Tiger Town thrives when asked to accelerate through the middle stages, and Drake Drive, experienced and ever-adaptable, may hold the late punch that can turn a contest on its head. It promises to be a contest of character as much as acceleration.

A compact but compelling field of seven fillies and mares steps forward at 7:55 PM for another $63,800 route, this one shaped by contrasting styles. Spun Around, typically forward and forceful, may dictate early. Good As Gone is more measured, a stalker who waits for the right moment to assert herself. Periwinkle, on the rise, brings energy to the deeper stretch, and Nikita’s Gem, durable and determined, rarely leaves without offering her best. With so many layers at play, this is the kind of race that often produces late-season revelations.

At 8:24 PM, another long-distance contest emerges, this time under the Starter Optional banner for $36,300. Tiz Romantic appears poised to take command early, but Media Sensation, reliable and intelligent in his running, may apply persistent pressure. Three Sonny Sideup holds a profile that suits controlled fractions, while Grey Princess, the lone mare taking on the boys, carries the sort of grit that tends to linger in the mind long after the line.

The night closes at 8:53 PM with a six-furlong Maiden Claiming finale worth $32,500. Here, the promise of the future takes centre stage. Tanzanite Lily brings bright early speed, She’s So Croatian has been on the cusp of a breakthrough for weeks, Sweet Valentine builds gradually and finishes strongly, and Star Riot, ever consistent, seems perpetually one step away from earning her first victory. It will be an ending painted with hope, urgency and a measure of sentiment as connections look for one last moment of warmth before winter’s arrival.

As the final horses jog back toward the barn, Woodbine Racetrack November 20 stands as a testament to late-autumn racing—full of heart, full of contrasts, and full of the stories that carry a season toward its close.
