The East Cape Horse Of The Year Kingdundee, winner of the Gr 1 World Pool Cape Flying Championship, has landed safely in Dubai where he will be trained by Bhupat Seemar.
Clive Murphy, the owner and breeder of the The Unite States gelding, has retained only 50% of the horse but has not divulged yet who the new partners are.
Kingdundee departed South Africa on August 5 and has been staying in Newmarket until leaving for Dubai earlier this week.
Bhupat Seemar is a twice UAE Champion trainer.
He won the Dubai World Cup with Laurel River in 2024 and this horse also ended the season as the joint Longines World’s best racehorse that year together with City Of Troy.
Seemar trains out of the historic Zabeel Stables.
Meanwhile, Kingdundee’s Vercingetorix half-sister Princess Gaul, is back in Cape Town and trainer Dean Kannemeyer will likely be bringing her out soon. She was also bred by Clive and is owned by Fred Crabbia.
Kingdundee’s dam Miss Marmalade is now owned by Paardeberg Stud.
She has also produced a Quasillo colt, who is now a gelding and is yet to make his debut.
Her latest foal was an Ideal World colt.
She is currently in foal to Expert Eye.
