DOHA: Al Shaqab Racing’s Al Ghadeer claimed a historic third straight victory in the Gr.1 Qatar International Stakes for Purebred Arabians at the Qatar Goodwood Festival yesterday. The win came during day two of the festival, reinforcing his dominance in the top tier of Purebred Arabian racing.

President of the Qatar Olympic Committee H E Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani and H E Sheikh Hamad bin Joaan Al Thani received the trophy from Chairman of Qatar Tourism and Chair of the Board of Directors of Visit Qatar H E Saad bin Ali Al Kharji.

Now a 10-time Gr.1 (PA) winner, the six-year-old followed the same path as last two seasons, winning the Gr.1 (PA) H H The Amir Sword in February before heading straight to Goodwood for this target, and once again, he delivered in style for Al Shaqab Racing, trainer Francois Rohaut and jockey Christophe Soumillon.

With another commanding performance and a tenth Gr.1 (PA) victory under his belt, Al Ghadeer continues to cement his reputation as one of the greatest Purebred Arabians of his generation.
