Doha, Qatar: Khalifa bin Sheail Al Kuwari-owned Al Nasr Al Washeek teamed up with jockey Muanis Al Siyabi to record a convincing four-length victory, clinching the Marmi Cup in style at Al Uqda Racecourse yesterday.
The five-year-old gelding, trained by Julian Smart, produced a lightning speed for a comfortable victory in the 1200m Local Thoroughbred Open feature race.
Injaaz Stud’s Tafaahum with Ivan Rossi in the saddle grabbed second position after finishing the feature 2 ¼ lengths ahead of third-placed Al Harqah, ridden by Jefferson Smith.
