Nayef canters to Sheema Classic win Nayef slayed a high class field in sensational style to land the group one Dubai Sheema Classic for British trainer Marcus Tregoning today.The four-year-old Gulch colt was pulled out of the $6 million Dubai World Cup earlier this week on the orders of owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, who owns Sakhee, the hot favourite for the big race later today.Nayef, who has never contested a race on dirt, made mincemeat of his 14 rivals under Richard Hills in the turf-based Sheema Classic which is run over two furlongs (400 metres) further than the World Cup.Last year`s Newmarket Champion Stakes winner was driven clear 300 metres from home and quickly put daylight between himself and the rest to win comfortably from outsider Helene Vitality.
