| Mubarak bin Shafya and jockey Ahmed Ajtebi
doubled up from their Dubai Duty Free victory lading the Group
I Dubai Sheema Classic in the most thrilling race of the whole
evening and three horses separated by no more than a neck, these
were Eastern Anthem who nosed Spanish Moon into second and Purple
Moon a short head back in third and it was won on the nod by
Ahmed who had Eastern Anthem settled at the back of the field
and he judged it right passing the whole field in the straight
to get there on the line. So a Group I double for Mubarak bin
Shafya and Ahmed Ajtebi, watch out for this combination in Europe
this summer. Ryan Moore on Sir Michael Stoute's Spanish Moon
and Jamie Spencer aboard Luca Cumani's Purple Moon can think
themselves unlucky as it was such a close finish, Youmzain the
favourite ran fourth under Richard Hills. |
