Al Wakrah Reigns Supreme in Gr1 PA Qatar International Cup!
In a stunning display of class, Al Wakrah (TM Fred Texas x Majida), owned by Al Shaqab Racing, triumphed in the Qatar International Cup (Gr1-PA), a 4YO+ Purebred Arabian race over 1400m, marking her return to winning ways in style. Under the expert guidance of Olivier d'Andigne, the 7YO mare powered through the field in the final 200m to surge past the leaders and secure victory by a length for trainer Jean de Mieulle.
The race began with Nemr (TM Fred Texas x Al Dhabi) and AJS Saaeq (AF Al Bahar x Sahab Al Zaeem) setting a strong early pace, with Jabalah (Al Mamun Monlau x Kouthar) positioned just behind.
As they approached the final bend, AJS Saaeq made a move to lead alone, but Al Wakrah showed her true grit, improving in the home stretch to take command and power to the front. Luwsail (Al Mourtajez x Al Dowha), also owned by Al Shaqab Racing and trained by Francois Rohaut, finished in second under Faleh Bughanaim while Jabalah, owned by Wathnan Racing and trained by Alban de Mieulle, was third, only a short head behind, with James Doyle aboard.
This victory further elevates Al Wakrah’s already impressive career and with her undeniable talent, she continues to be a dominant force in the Purebred Arabian racing world.
