Mishriff will become the highest earning racehorse of all time if he successfully defends his crown in the Saudi Cup on Saturday, with the Jockey Club of 萝莉视频 commissioning a short film 鈥� 鈥淭he Story of Mishriff鈥� 鈥� to celebrate the horse鈥檚 journey so far.

Owned and bred by Prince Abdulrahman bin Abdullah Al-Faisal, Mishriff competed at the first two Saudi Cup meetings. In the film, Mishriff鈥檚 owner-breeder tells presenter Nick Luck that the horse looked 鈥渉orrible鈥� in pictures as a foal, before his transformation into 鈥渁 proper horse.鈥�

The horse has extra significance for Prince Faisal, having been named after his former trainer, Mishriff, who taught him the 鈥淎rab way of looking at a horse.鈥� After being reared at Coolmore, Mishriff was sent to John Gosden, who Prince Faisal describes as 鈥渢he best trainer in the world.鈥�

Gosden said that Mishriff needed time to fill into his frame when he first came to the yard, but that he had a tremendous three-year-old year before showing his versatility by being able to cope with the American pace in the Saudi Cup and then going on to land the Sheema Classic on turf over a mile and a half (2,400 meters). He said: 鈥淭he plan has always been to come back again for the Saudi Cup, and it looks a mighty tough field but so it should be.鈥�

David Egan was just 21 years old when winning the race 12 months ago, and the Irish jockey describes how much the victory meant to him: 鈥淭he Saudi Cup meeting has obviously had a huge impact on my life. Prince Faisal, who has been in the racing industry for so long, and to be able to win it with a horse he bred, must have been very special for him. For me to be able to deliver that was very heartwarming.鈥�

Finally, Prince Faisal explains the love he has for horses: 鈥淣obody loves racing and horses like Arabs. I just love the horse and I think that people who don鈥檛 love horses shouldn鈥檛 have anything to do with racing. This is the whole thing: If you don鈥檛 enjoy it, leave it.

鈥淭he Story of Mishriff鈥� was filmed and produced by Equine Productions.
