Brown panther from the United Kingdom, owned by soccer star Michael Owen, confirmed his favorite role at the third and tight race of the 20th Dubai world cup, winning the 3,200 meter long turf track named Dubai gold cup in three minutes and 17.84 seconds.

"This is a fantastic milestone for my career," said Richard Kingscote, the jockey of brown panther. The seven year old British thoroughbred was followed by Star Empire from South Africa and Ahzeemah from Ireland.

A total of one million dollars worth of prize money was distributed. Brown panther cashed in 600,000 U.S. dollars worth of prize money, while the second and third won 200,000 dollars and 100,000 dollars, respectively, sponsored by Dubai-based car dealer Al Tayer Motors. Endi
