The world’s richest horse race, the 2025 Saudi Cup, will take place on Saturday at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, featuring a lucrative $20 million purse. Last year, Senor Buscador, an American horse, claimed victory at 6 years old. This year, Forever Young, who finished third in the 2024 Kentucky Derby, leads the odds at 8-5, followed closely by Romantic Warrior at 2-1 and Rattle N Roll at 10-1.

Top 2025 Saudi Cup predictions by Michelle Yu:

• Rattle N Roll may not meet expectations despite being a favorite, as he has not performed consistently at a Grade 1 level.

“The Clark Handicap winner dominated in his local debut last time out, and trainer Kenny McPeek has been thrilled with the way he has been training since. He appears to be full of run in the mornings, but I don’t think he’s quite international caliber.” - Michelle Yu
