Meydan: UAE 2,000 Guineas Trial Sponsored By DP World UAE Region (Conditions Race) 7f, dirt, 3yo
MUBTAAHIJ put his experience of the Meydan dirt track to good use when leading home a one-two for Mike de Kock.

The South African trainer voiced concerns about the suitably of the new surface for some of his string after watching seven of his runners perform poorly on the main track at the carnival’s opening night seven days ago.
However, he will be buoyed by the performance after Mubtaahij got him up and running at this year’s carnival in dominant style.
Five lengths separated the 8-1 winner, who scored on the dirt track last month, from stablemate Ajwad (12-1) at the line and while 4-6 favourite Maftool, the highest-rated runner in the field, made late headway he could not recover from a tardy start.
Winning rider Dane O’Neill said: “He had to come here and step up again and he was more impressive than last time.
“The way he came home impressed me and I’m sure there will be more to come.”
Earlier on the card the focus was on the fillies and Godolphin’s Local Time collared long-time leader Ad Idem close home to take the UAE 1,000 Guineas Trial.
Jockey James Doyle, who won his 50th race in the UAE, said: “I think that this race will put her spot on for the UAE 1,000 Guineas and she should improve with stepping up another furlong. She is small but tough.”

Meydan: #Reynaldothewizard domina le Dubawi Stakes verso il Golden Shaheen. Ecco tutti gli highlights della giornata
In apertura c’era il trial delle 1000 Ghinee locali sui 1400 metri, vinto all’ultimo tuffo da Local Time (Invincible Spirit) per Saeed bin Suroor e James Doyle in sella, alla 50° vittoria a Meydan in carriera, con la femmina che ha piegato proprio nelle battute finali Ad Idem (Jet Master), sudafricana presentata da Mick De Kock, molto critico nei confronti del kick back di Meydan. Questa era la quarta vittoria consecutiva per Local Time, piccola ma coraggiosa figlia di Invincible Spirit (Green Desert), arrivata quarta al debutto e poi mai più peggio che prima con l’ultima vittoria rilevante nelle Oh So Sharp Stakes G3 del 4 Ottobre a Newmarket dove dispose, tra le altre, di Astrelle (Makfi) per Marco Botti, una mezza sorella di Porsenna allevata dall’allevatore lucano Gennaro Stimola.
