Injaaz Stud's Mutamarrid Claims Ras Rokn Island Cup In Style

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Mutamarrid sealed the Ras Rokn Island Cup in style as a competitive nine-race programme unfolded on the dirt at the Al Uqda Racecourse Wednesday.

The nine-year-old Mutamarrid asserted his class in the feature race for Local Thoroughbred Handicap (45–70) for four-year-olds and above over 2000m, contested by seven runners.

Owned by Injaaz Stud and trained by Jihad El Ahmad, Mutamarrid produced a decisive late surge to score by two and three-quarter lengths under Pierre Charles Boudot. The victory marked the ninth of his career and followed a pair of solid placed efforts in his previous two starts.

Earlier on the card, Tariqu Al Shahania opened proceedings by getting off the mark, while Gasham delivered a breakthrough success in the second race.

Midrass rolled back the years to regain winning form, Habes returned to the winner's enclosure in the fourth, and Necessitate held on gamely after a bold front-running display. Gulf Legend struck back in the staying handicap, Sha'alan edged a closely fought sprint, and Sham Alghania made a winning debut against more experienced rivals to complete a competitive afternoon of racing.
