2nd Dubai World Cup
Nad Al Sheba, 3 April 1997
won by Singspiel (IRE)

The winner was Sheikh Mohammed's Singspiel, a five-year-old bay horse trained in the United Kingdom by Michael Stoute and ridden by Jerry Bailey. Bailey had won the inaugural running of the race on Cigar in 1996.

Singspiel was an established international performer at the highest level, having won the Canadian International Stakes and the Japan Cup in 1996, but had never previously competed on dirt. In the 1997 Dubai World Cup Singspiel took the lead approaching the final furlong and won by one and a quarter lengths and one and a half length from Siphon and Sandpit, two Brazilian-bred horses trained in the United States by Richard Mandella. The Japanese mare Hokuto Vega was fatally injured in a fall approaching the straight, bringing down the British colt Bijou d'Inde[1]
