Tapeta was replaced by dirt this year. That's why a lot more north American horses went over this year: http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/shared_content.cfm?id=482
MEYDAN TO RETURN TO DIRT SURFACE
The world’s richest race, the $10 million G1 Dubai World Cup, will once again be contested on dirt after it was announced yesterday that Meydan Racecourse will replace its Tapeta track with dirt. Meydan has used Tapeta, in addition to its 2400 meter turf track, since its opening in 2010, but will have its new dirt surface installed in time for the 2014/15 racing season.
