Arguably one of the world’s most recognized and celebrated purebred Arabians, the star of Nasser Mutlaq’s stable took the Listed event over 2000m for the second consecutive year under jockey Adel Al-Fouraidi.
The wins set up a lucrative Riyadh season where the multiple Group 1 winner has twice triumphed in the Obaiyah Arabian Classic on Saudi Cup night. He returned to the winner’s enclosure to record a 16th career success following his defeat on Dubai World Cup night in March.
Wathab Al-Mashaheer (KSA) landed the other $270,000 race and took his career record to three from three under Abdullah Al-Saedi in the Group 3 King Faisal Cup over 1600m for three-year-olds.
