The final weekend of March is shaping up to be perhaps the biggest in the world of horse racing so far in 2021. Two Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve qualifying races each offering a total of 170 points are scheduled for Saturday in the U.S., and another one will be run in the United Arab Emirates along with a smorgasbord of top-class racing as part of the Dubai World Cup card.
