The
Albrighton Maiden Stakes – 7 Furlongs:

2. Shatha Mr. S Walker
3. Aljawza Mr. P Collington
Distances: ½, ¾ 9
ran
Winner owned and bred by Mr. M Brunton. Trained by Mr. A J Brunton.
The opening
maiden over 7 Furlongs was won in fine style by CS Jumali (Bengali
D’Albret x Jumah (Div)) who was making
his debut and at 3 was a year younger than half the field, he’s
by Champion sire Bengali D’Albret whilst his dam Jumah
was a smart handicapper. He was held up with a run and hit the
front inside the final furlong and although green he showed a
smart turn of foot to repel Shatha (Passem Lotois x Seyvilla
Wikenya), he and can go on from here. Shatha made a strong debut
in second, whilst Aljawza (Dormane x Maheba De Piboul) was finishing
best of all and will be dangerous when upped to a mile.
The
Jebel Ali Racing Club Handicap Stakes (Series Qualifier)
0-65 over
1 Mile 1 ½ Furlongs:
1. Raihan Mr. S Walker
2. WA Savannah Sunrise Mr. R G Woollard
3. French Lieutenant Mr. D Turner
Distances: 1, head 13 ran
Winner owned
by Mr. & Mrs S Connally. Trained
by Mrs. S Connally. Bred by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al
Maktoum.
Raihan (Passem Lotois x G Sustika) won for the second time of
asking at Wolverhampton this season and clearly appreciates the
surface, she did it the hard way and led from start to finish
and stayed on strongly from a staying on WA Savannah Sunrise
(Dantist x Sasparilla Sunrise (Maliek El Kheil)), whilst French
Lieutenant (Dedja Des Forges x Sihrea Crystal (Crystal Magician))
was making gallant strides a head back in third.
The Oxley Classified Stakes (0-95) Over 7 Furlongs:
1. Mutarased Mr. P Collington
2. The Vertuous Crusader Mr. D Turner
3. Za’eemah Mr. S Walker
Distances: 5, short head 4 ran
Winner owned by HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Trained
by Mrs. G Duffield. Bred by Shadwell Estate Company Ltd.
In the 7
Furlong conditions they ran the first two furlongs at a crawl
as no one would go on, in the end Phil
Collington
seized the initiative on Mutarased and made all, he upped the
pace from 2 furlongs out and the others were toiling in his wake
and could never get back on terms. Mutarased (Bengali D’Albret
x Simooma (Vadeer)) won easily by 5 lengths in the end and remains
progressive. The Vertuous Crusader (Vert Olive x Crusaders Spirit
(Sky Crusader)) ran with credit back in second in a muddling
affair and held on gamely from the fast finishing Za’eemah
(Passem Lotois x PS Crystal Sage) who lost her un beaten record
to claim third.
The Kingswood Common Banded Stakes (Band C) Over 7 Furlongs:
1. Maximillion Mr. H Haynes
2. Fair Deed Dash Mr. D Turner
2. On The Wing Miss T Smith
Distances:
2 ½, dead heat 8 ran
Winner owned and trained by Mrs. G Haynes. Bred by Mrs V Bunting.
Maximillion (Crusader x Marsinique) won for the second time
of asking at this track and also seems to be developing into
an all weather specialist, he led the field from 5 furlongs out
and quickened smartly away to win going away by 3 lengths. The
penny finally seems to have dropped for Fair Deed Dash (Dedja
Des Forges x TFA Ashajan) and she battled hard in the final furlong
to dead heat with On The Wing (Wiking x Tee Jay Carries Star)
for second.
The Dunstall Park Handicap Stakes 0-85 Over 6 Furlongs:
1. Roches Du Cayrou Mr. R Cummings
2. Alnaba Mr. P Collington
3. CS Kabira Mr. H Haynes
Distances:
1 ½, ¾ 8 ran
Winner owned
and trained by Mrs. D Thomas. Bred by M. J-M Baldy & M.C.
Vallee.
Roches Du Cayrou (Newday x Kahinaoura) was a smart juvenile
in Germany where he won twice at Group level several years ago,
he seems to be right back to his best and scored his third win
of the season over this insufficient trip of 6 Furlongs. He seemed
to struggle from the start but kept on and hit the front a furlong
from home and won nicely by a length and a half. Alnaba (Djelfor
x Komet) who has been racing successfully in the UAE was making
her UK debut but raced far too keenly early on and did herself
no favours but should improve for the run and fought hard for
second from a staying on CS Kabira (Djebbel x Ciarosa (Ciato)).
The
Lower Penn Graduation Stakes (Anglo & PBA) 0-110 Over
1 Mile 1 ½ Furlongs:
1. Madrison Mr. M Smith
2. Castle Lee Lad Mr. S Walker
3. Sugar Dandy Miss C J Green
Distances: 5, 13 7 ran
Winner owned
by Mr. S Shefras & Ms. V Hemstock.
Trained by Mrs. N Pook. Bred by M Jean-Luc Gaillard.
Madrison
(L’Estragon x Madrisa) made his
UK debut a winning one in the Anglo/ PBA race, he travelled
well throughout and
showed a smart turn of foot to skip clear on the bridle to win
by an easy 5 lengths. Castle Lee Lad (Kenilworth Castle x Miss
Annabel Lee) ran another good race in second but had no chance
with the winner, whilst Sugar Dandy (Ballacashtal x Chantille
Saucy Sal) was a slightly disappointing third.
The Weston Park Handicap Stakes 0-75 Over 1 Mile 6 Furlongs:
1. Hellow Mr. S Walker
2. Anganate Safinat Mr. P J Murphy
3. CS Wraith Mr. H Haynes
Distances: 3, neck 9 ran
Winner owned by Mrs. W Smith. Trained by Mr. W Smith. Bred by
Mme M-C Biauds.
Hellow (Kesberoy x Hafia De Fuast) who was friendless in the
betting and drifted out to 7/1 but he won in fine style by an
easy 3 lengths. They went no pace over this staying trip and
Hellow went on from 3 furlongs and the field was caught flat
footed. Anganate Safinat (Manganate x Astree) was technically
running from out of the handicap and ran a blinder to finish
second, whilst CS Wraith (Djebbel x Waywood Ghost (Nazim)) is
slowly finding her form and was a neck back in third.
