Tiding Storms To Khor Al Adaid Cup Victory At Al Rayyan

DOHA: Tiding with Marco Casamento in the saddle made a swift return to winning form in the 2800m QA Group 3 contest for Thoroughbreds, claiming the Khor Al Adaid Cup in style at Al Rayyan Racecourse yesterday.

Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club's Racing Manager Abdulla Rashid Al Kubaisi presented the trophy to Sheikh Abdul Rahman Rashid Abdulrahman Mohammed Al Thani, owner of Tiding.

The five-year-old chestnut produced a powerful performance, unleashing an electrifying burst in the home straight to reel in the leader before forging clear to score decisively by 21⁄2 lengths, securing his first Group victory and completing a double on the evening for trainer Gassim Al Ghazali and Casamento. It was his second success from five starts this season.
