Doha: Wathnan Racing’s Dabida delivered an impressive performance to shed her maiden tag with victory in the Al Wakra Cup at Al Rayyan Racecourse on late Thursday evening.
Contesting the feature event for four-year-old Purebred Arabian fillies over 2000m, the grey filly was expertly guided by Soufiane Saadi and trained by Alban de Mieulle. Travelling strongly throughout, Dabida asserted her authority in the closing stages to score by a clear length.
The success also provided her owner-trainer combination with a second winner on the evening, capping a productive night at the races.
Geina, representing Dukhan Racing and handled by Hamad Al-Jehani, stayed on under Pierre Charles Boudot, was prominent early and briefly led before being eased into third as Alwasmiyah swept forward to assume control from HM Al Jadwal, who tracked her closely.
