Clapton AJR and Gwan AJR win UAE President Cup Series Finals for Colts and Fillies
Clapton AJR and Gwan AJR threw the party for trainer Oberdan Pereira and breeder Almir José Ribeiro by winning the final two races of the Prêmio Especial UAE President Cup Series For Colts and Prêmio Especial UAE President Cup Series For Fillies 2021 respectively; that are part of the UAE President Cup South America Mondial Series for Purebred Arabian Horses. Brazil is the first country to host these races, in a total of 15, including four for colts, four for fillies and four for Maiden Horses, in addition to the three finals that celebrate the 50th anniversary of the independence of the United Arab Emirates, on 2 February December 1971. Six animals from six distinct owners competed in the first race, the Prêmio Especial UAE President Cup Series For Colts, which was played on 1,500 meters on turf for 3-years-old and older up to two wins. From the start, Clapton AJR (Mared Al Sahra x *Cowboys Gal by Wiking), who won on May 1st and very well led by Idevaldo Silva, disputes the first place in a balanced race until the entry of the final straight when he attacks by out and takes the lead, keeps it until the end and wins with a six-length advantage. Highlight for RG El Bak (RG Karat x *Endora by Wojslaw) who, under the command of Jeane Alves, jumped from fifth place to finish in second place, followed by Obstinado Rach (Atentaddo VE x Obsession Rach by Voltaire Rach) ridden by Ruberlei Viana. RG El Bak is trained by Stanislaus Petrochinski and Obstinado Rach is trained by Lucas Quintana.
Clapton AJR, three-year-old colt owned and bred by Almir José Ribeiro, first child of Mared Al Sahra born in Brazil trained by Oberdan Pereira, in his second victory demonstrates that he has a strong desire to win and will shine in the next races in 2022. Very happy with the victory, trainer Oberdan Pereira said: “I just have to thank breeder Almir José Ribeiro for having the opportunity to train Clapton AJR who is a wonderful horse with two races and two wins and excellent race times. He is the son of Mared Al Sahra who once again confirms our expectations.” Jockey Idevaldo Silva said: “Trainer Oberdan asked me not to force him at the start of the race, but Clapton AJR started out wanting to dominate and as I couldn't contain him I let him run the race. I only managed to win and he proved that he has the blood of a champion, like his father Mared Al Sahra.”
Watch the Prêmio Especial UAE President Cup Series for Fillies The second race, the Prêmio Especial UAE President Cup Series For Fillies, for 3-years-old and older up to 2 wins was played on 1,400 meters on turf and had a contingent of seven winners and the champion was Gwan AJR Considered the least likely to win the race, Gwan AJR (All Pol Rach x Greece AJR by Second Chall), masterfully led by Antonio Mesquita, was the star of the race. She took second place right at the start and battled for first place with Marlize Rach (Eksort Rach x Musa Rach by *Polonez) with Ruberlei Viana in command until 450 meters when she took the lead. RG Kabala (Cáceres CSM x Canoas CSM by Pavel Rach) with jockey Osmar Pereira Filho on the outside and Revelation Rach (*Eksport x Rapunzel Rach by Voltaire Rach) mounted by the apprentice jockey Ruan Mendonça on the inside follow paired and battle for second and third places. The three fillies staged a world-class race with Gwan AJR in first place with a ¾ lengths advantage over Revelation Rach that secures second place with a neck advantage over RG Kabala. Another victory for trainer Oberdan Pereira who commented: “Gwan AJR competed in four races, two on turf and two on dirt. In the first, on turf, she won by seven lengths and in the second she finished second because the jockey unfortunately lost his whip. Even though she wasn't the favorite, I was sure she would win because she showed in practice that she was excellent and prepared for the win.” Jockey Pereira said: “Gwan AJR trained on turf this week and I was sure of her quality in the race. Right at the start she showed that she had the strength and breath to win and I let her loose to do the race and I only had to manage to win, even with the attack of Revelation Rach and RG Kabala.”
“As a breeder I feel completely fulfilled with two great victories and very happy for Clapton AJR's second consecutive victory which ends the year 2021 unbeatable. Regarding Gwan AJR's victory, I share the happiness with my partners Roberto Jonas Simões who once again reaped a great victory and Paulo Saliba who chose the champion All Pol Rach to be the father of this wonderful mare that makes history with another victory, which demonstrates that its lineage is champions", declared breeder and owner Almir José Ribeiro. The trophies were presented by HE Mr. Ibrahim Salem Alalawi, Consul General of the UAE in the State of São Paulo, who stated: “On this occasion, I want to thank His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, for his unlimited support for sport in general and equestrian sport in particular, which has had a major impact on the current and future status of Arabian horses around the world.” “His Highness is represented in the Federative Republic of Brazil through our consulate, specifically in the state of São Paulo, and we are witnessing the launch of the UAE President Cup Arabian Purebred Classic Series – South America Mondial Brazil. The event was very well received by the public in São Paulo. The support offered by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has a significant impact on the status of Arabian horses around the world.” “We were proud to see the UAE flag flying in the fields of Brazil and also the important sponsors with the success that the UAE President Cup has been achieving here and in various parts of the world.” “Finally I want to thank HE Faisal Al Rahmani, president of the International Federation of Arabian Horse Racing (IFAHR), director of the UAE President Cup Series, and also the team for their continued efforts to make this Mondial a local and international success.” Faisal Al Rahmani, president of the International Federation of Arabian Horse Racing (IFAHR) and director of the UAE President Cup said: “I hope this South America Mondial is excellent and slowly it will be very strong. The UAE President Cup Series are Group 1 races, however HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan was convinced that we could start a good championship and 'build' a Group 1 President Cup in South America, not for today, but for two , three or five years, with the participation of owners, breeders and horses from four countries: Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. In this way, we are supporting and creating a great market in South America.” Almir José Ribeiro, director of racing at the Brazilian Arabian Horse Breeders Association (ABCCA) said: “This young nation with only 50 years old has been showing the world that with Tolerance, Inclusion and Equality through sport, a fraternal, fair and happy country can be built; having the Arabian horse pave this way through the Racing and Endurance.” “Once again, we thank our sponsors HH Sh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs and HE Faisal Al Rahmani, President of the IFAHR and General Director of the UAE President Cup, the breeders, owners, the board of the Association Brazilian Arabian Horse Breeders (ABCCA), the Jockey Club of São Paulo and those in love with the Arabian horse for another great show where we had two exciting races in Cidade Jardim, which every day has a large audience again”, concluded Ribeiro.
