RIYADH: Tuwaiq Cup winner Scotland Yard (USA) makes his eagerly-awaited return to action this Saturday on a packed weekend of racing at King Abdulaziz Racecourse, which includes the $400,000 (SR1.5 million) UAE President Cup.

The latter is for Purebred Arabian Horses on Friday, but all eyes will be on Saturday’s sixth race in which Scotland Yard faces 15 rivals on his first outing since The Saudi Cup weekend when he blitzed the field to win by over five lengths.
Champion jockey Adel Alfouraidi’s mount won three of this four outings last season and bigger targets will surely await the six-year-old, who ran eighth in the 2024 renewal of The Saudi Cup.
Saturday’s $32,000 race over 1800m looks to be at his mercy with the White Stable of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz & Sons’ Bolide Porto (IRE) and the Humoud Mufarrej-trained The King’s General (IRE) probably his main opponents.
