(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Al Sij Al Sakab delivered a commanding performance to win The Late sheikh Jassim Bin Mohammad Bin Thani Trophy at the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club's (QREC) Al Uqda Racecourse on Saturday.
Under a masterful ride by Alberto Sanna, the Khalid Hamad MA al-Atteya-owned and Jassim Hamad al-Atteya-trained six-year-old held off his rivals to secure a memorable half a length victory in the day's 1400m feature race – Local Purebred Arabians for three-year-old+.
Jean de Mieulie-trained Al Mirage, in the silks of Al Shaqab, came second and Al Jeryan Stud's AJS Saaeq finished third.
HE Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed al-Thani, Minister of Sports & Youth, in the presence of Issa bin Mohammed al-Mohannadi, QREC Chairman, crowned the winners of the feature race.
Jabalah, in the colours of Wathnan Racing, won the Qatar National Day Trophy with a brilliant finish under jockey James Doyle. With the win the eight-year-old son of Al Mamun Monlau finally clinched the Group 2 PA contest after near misses in the past two renewals and in the process gave Wathnan Racing and Doyle their fourth win of the day. It was also the third win on the cards for trainer Alban de Mieulle. Khalifa bin Sheail KH J al-Kuwari-owned and Julian Smart-trained Moshrif came second.
Haunted Dream, owned by Wathnan Racing and trained by Hamad al-Jehani, won the QA Group 3 Al Safliya Cup for the second consecutive year. The five-year-old gelding, under the supervision of in-form James Doyle, powered to victory by almost three lengths.
