The world's top-ranked horse Arrogate is one of 168 nominations for the Dubai World Cup at Meydan.
The winner of the inaugural Pegasus World Cup last month, Arrogate is one of two possible runners on March 25 for American trainer Bob Baffert along with last year's third-placed Hoppertunity.
Baffert has won the World Cup twice with Silver Charm and Captain Steve.
Mubtaahij, Lani and Highland Reel are also in the World Cup mix.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained Highland Reel has also been nominated for the Sheema Classic on turf along with stablemate Seventh Heaven and last year's winner Postponerd from the Roger Varian stable.
