14 Feb
Summary
- Forever Young attempts to be the first horse to win the Saudi Cup twice.
- The horse has earned over $19.3 million in career earnings.
- Forever Young is the 8-11 morning-line favorite for the 2026 Saudi Cup.
Forever Young is poised to make history at the 2026 Saudi Cup, aiming to be the first horse to claim victory in the world's richest horse race for a second time. The race is scheduled for Saturday at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in Riyadh.
Last year's triumph saw Forever Young outduel Romantic Warrior in a dramatic stretch drive, securing the $20 million prize. The accomplished horse later added North America's richest race, the $7 million Breeders' Cup Classic, to his impressive resume.
The 5-year-old, bred in Japan, has accumulated more than $19.3 million in career earnings. A win on Saturday would elevate him to second place on the all-time career earnings list, trailing only Romantic Warrior.
Forever Young has been installed as the 8-11 morning-line favorite for the 2026 Saudi Cup. Other notable contenders include Nysos (7-2), Bishops Bay (11-1), Nevada Beach (11-1), and Luxor Cafe (16-1). The race is set to begin at 12:40 p.m. ET.
