2015  Australian Leg of the H.H Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup 

Jockey: Isabella Teh

Trainer: Michelle Clements

Arabian: Djehibi

Jockey: Anna Pilroth (Sweden)

Trainer: Jay Randle

Arabian: Keisha

pc: HHFestval - & NARA

Once again the speed machine Djehlbi  and fast finishing mare Keisha put in stellar performances to continue their successful recent domination of the Australian turf.

 

The first race on the card was the second in the global series  of the HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Championship( IFAHR ), the first having been held in Oman. This €30,000 1400 metre race was contested by 8 international lady jockeys and our Australian contender Annelise King.

 

Fresh from her recent victory in the UAE Arabian Plate last December was Queensland mare Keisha. She is owned and trained by Jay Randle and was ridden by Swedish jockey Anna Pilroth to win by a convincing 6 lengths from the evergreen Warrawee Naaziq, who was returning to the track after a long break. Naaziq was ridden by Ireland's Nadine Forde and they were followed 3 lengths back by the very promising young gelding Coolinda Park Winston with French jockey Sandrine  Hagenbach up.

 

The second race was the €35,000 1300 metre Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup. Once again the imported stallion, Queensland based Djehlbi , piloted by his regular rider and part owner Isabella Teh, repeated his winning ways. He won by an impressive 15 lengths from another young Coolinda bred gelding, Coolinda Park Kazh, ridden and trained by the experienced Kim Noble. 4 lengths away in third place was NSW horse Conderosa Pegasus ridden by Daniel Edmonds.

 

The NARA  team are indebted to His Highness Sheikh Mansoor, Her Highness Sheikha Fatima and Ms Lara Sawaya for their continued and increasingly generous sponsorship of Australian Arabian Racing in Australia. The Global Arabian Flat Racing Festival which now spans 6 continents, continues to grow each year and now provides the most generous purses on the international Arabian racing calendar. This  prizemoney, together with the recently announced Breeders Incentive of €4,000 for the breeders of the winning horses of all 102 races in the Festival, is guaranteed to encourage breeders,owners and trainers to put more horses into race training. The future of Arabian racing looks bright indeed. For more details click on Race Results.
