Dubai: Dubai-based gallopers Al Aasy and Al Suhail were winners, as the Newmarket and York race tracks in the UK held an elegant assembly on Thursday, a day when Godolphin’s retained rider, William Buick, won a hat-trick, adding one for Queen Elizabeth.
Buick, one of the busiest riders on the circuit, has already ridden 29 winners of 112 races this season, and has shown just when he’s on the call-up with victories for 3 other owners, adding one for his top employers, Godolphin.
This happened aboard the disappointed 2000 Guineas of the Dubai team, Al Suhail, who missed an incredible winner of the Sir Bahrain Cecil International Prize in Bahrain.
The Colt Dubawi beat a single horse at home in the colt classic, but more than made up for the functionality with a comfortable victory for Master Charlie Appleby, who sought to draw a line in his Guinean career.
“We feel that if this horse helps keep it together, it has a lot of features there,” Appleby told Racing TV.
“I hope it’s a wonderful delight for him to go out on the road and do it as well as that. He’s got a lot of confidence, it’s about channeling him in the right direction.”
Less than an hour later, Al Aasy achieved good fortune for Dubai’s relations by winning the Bahrain Trophy in the colours of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai’s vice-sovereign and finance minister.
Al Aasy began to rise to the highest esteem he held through William Haggas, after a good fortune at the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket.
Sea The Stars’ son, defeated in his first two outings, scored with the organization 3 to score in one and three quarters at dawn’s favorite Rising.
The winning rider, Jim Crowley, said: “I was impressed. We’ve held him in high esteem.
“It definitely holds, but it’s not a slow horse, it shows you your rhythm. I think it’s getting bigger and bigger. It’s a big horse and I hope it continues to improve.”
Maureen, the wife and assistant of Master Haggas, said: “William has enjoyed it. He’s a lovely horse. He’s been raised to be a smart horse.”
“Improve and learn. When he last won, that’s where William was looking to come.
“It’s our Derby horse, and when William showed Sheikh Hamdan about a year, he said, “That’s the Derby horse.” He just didn’t delight enough to do something like that.”
“I hope it’s next year and it’s a more powerful horse again.”
