Ahmed Kobeissi-schooled Battash De Faust with Tomas Lukasek in the saddle was third in the QR100000 race.

In Thoroughbred Handicap (Class 2), Ali Bin Khalid Al Mosallam's Gangland reigned supreme with Lukas Delozier steering the Hamad Al Jehani-trained six-year-old gelding to victory by 1½-length.
AJS Beirut, owned by Al Jeryan Stud, also entered the winners' list yesterday, clinching the Purebred Arabian Handicap title. The Rashid Al Ali's four-year-old ward was guided by Lukasek in a neck win.
