WATCH THE RACE

Veneraddo Rach very well led by Luís Henriques set the pace and dominated the Prêmio UAE President Cup Series For Maiden Horses IV until the last 150 meters when he was passed on the outside by RG Kabala on the mount of apprentice jockey Ruan Mendonça.

On Saturday, October 30, 13 animals, colts and fillies, lined up for the first victory in the Prêmio UAE President Cup Series for Maiden Horses IV; in 1,300 meters on turf, for 3-year-old & older, at the Hippodrome of Cidade Jardim.

In her first race, RG Kabala (Cáceres CSM x Canoas CSM / Pavel Rach) demonstrated all his potential and will to win. She competed with 12 animals that were in the last race on October 16, in which Veneraddo Rach (VE Atentaddo x Vanna Rach by *Aicyng AHRA) and Revelation Rach (*Eksport x Rapunzel Rach by Voltaire Rach) also finished second and third. RG Kabala crossed with three lengths ahead of the second and six over the third.

RG Kabala, bred and owned by Claudio Roberto Guimarães Ribas from the state of Paraná, is trained by Estanislau Petrochinscki.

“It was a big surprise as I honestly didn't believe RG Kabala could win in her first race. When I saw that in the 500 meters she was very well placed I thought: let's win. And she surprised us with this excellent victory”, declared Petrochinscki.

Apprentice jockey Ruan Mendonça said: “When we were close to 300 meters I felt she was fine and I let her run, we followed the pace of Veneraddo Rach who was three lengths in front of us and at the first opportunity I opened from the outside, overtook and we won. I'm very happy and I'm sure she's a filly with the potential to win more and more races.”

“We were blessed with a beautiful day, as the forecast was for rain. It was one of the most beautiful races ever held in Cidade Jardim, with all the animals paired up to the final 200 meters. I believe we have a new champion coming up that will brighten up the Arabian races in Brazil, especially next year. Congratulations to breeder Cláudio Ribas, trainer Estanislau Petrochinscki and jockey Ruan Mendonça,” said Almir José Ribeiro, Racing Director at the Brazilian Arabian Horse Breeders Association.

He added: “Our thanks to our sponsors HH Sh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs and HE Faisal Al Rahmani, President of the International Federation of Arabian Horse Racing (IFAHR) (IFAHR) and Director of UAE President Cup, for the idealization, support and sponsorship of the UAE President Cup South America Mondial Series for Purebred Arabian Horses Brazil, who are certainly proud to see a race with 13 animals on a very beautiful day and a very well disputed race. And with each race, the quality of the animals in competition improves.”

It was the 11th race held at the Jockey Club of São Paulo of the UAE President Cup South America Mondial Series for Purebred Arabian Horses and Brazil is the first country to host the South America Mondial, which also covers Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.

Rach Stud Agropecuária Ltda. was once again the largest breeder with 10 animals in the race and RG Kabala is the granddaughter of Ekspresjon Rach and Pavel Rach, two of his great stallions.
