[Rendezvous]

Spring Dawn Treader Cup 
1st Sun King
2nd Coincidence (neck)
3rd Incognito
4th Barely Smokin
5th Call of Duty (nose)

The Native Flame stallion, Sun King came back with a vengeance for Coincidence after coming in third in the Dubai World Sprint. Sun King came into this race in full form, ready and willing to set the pace for the first Dawn Treader Cup race of the year. It's almost a reflect on his past visit to the Spring Dawn Treader Cup back in Y16.  Coincidence fought with Sun King for the majority of the race and time and time again he tried to outsmart Sun King on the track, but Sun King would counter and come back at him twice as fast. The battle between ended up with Coincidence a mere neck away from overtaking Sun King.

Incognito came into this race calm and collected as is the norm for him, but he was just a little too at ease during this race and it seemed as though he didn't expect just how hard the two leaders of this race were going to duke it out. Call of Duty, although the least experienced and youngest of the field actually was able to keep up with the pack and even stay ahead of Incognito for a good bit of the race. It wasn't until the final stretch that he began to fall behind. So, Call of Duty is an INCREDIBLY strong horse to be able to keep pace with these older, more experienced horses. Like I said, he was only a nose behind Barely Smoking, a G1 level horse and that's truly something. So long as you keep him away from the top two contenders of this race, I think he has a fighting chance among the elites once he gets a few more races under his belt.
