|
| An
easy win here for Moonquake who was the obvious choice for the
crowd, running with a Handicap mark of 90 and a winner at Newcastle
in the summer in the UK and another winner for Mubarak bin Shafya |
So
losing his claim does not stop Ahmed Ajtebi from riding winners
but this was an armchair ride having started slightly slow he
soon got to the front and led all the way to victory from there
and he was well clear of the field |

| Top
weight Estihdaaf wins after a hard race where the pace was fast
from the off and the Ali Rashid Al Raihe trained winner was
ridden all the way but eventually got past Seeking The Alibi
who had gone for home |
Richard
Hills after what he said was "hard work" riding Estihdaaf,
he was trailing the field and provided the winner with a great
ride and the horse and rider were caked in sand as you can see
as they come back to the paddock |
