Thunder Snow recorded a stunning victory in Saturday's $10 million Dubai World Cup at the Meydan racecourse.

It was Belgian jockey Christophe Soumillon's first win in the race, which was formerly the richest in the world.

It was a seventh win in the race for the Godolphin stable and a sixth for trainer Saeed Bin Suroor.

Last May, Thunder Snow bucked before pulling up early in the Kentucky Derby. On Saturday, the Irish thoroughbred looked far more assured.

The race takes place in front of the enormous grandstand at the Meydan track.
