(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Al Shaqab Racing's Al Wakrah yesterday produced a trademark turn of foot to win the Umm Bab Cup, a Purebred Arabian Open Race for four-year-old+ over 1600m.

At the Al Rayyan Racecourse, the seven-year-old mare, expertly guided by Olivier d'Andigne, settled patiently behind the early leaders before unleashing a blistering run in the home straight to secure victory.
