Monsenhor Rach Secures Second Consecutive Victory in the Filhos do Deserto Race
Watch the race
Monsenhor Rach confirmed his excellent form by securing, in commanding fashion, his second consecutive victory in the Filhos do Deserto Race. With his trademark style of starting calmly among the midfielders and advancing confidently in the final stretch, the 4-year-old bay crossed the finish line with a 2¾-length lead over the runner-up.
The race took place at the Cidade Jardim Racetrack on March 8, over a distance of 1,600 meters, this time on turf. The event featured seven competitors 3-years-old and older and Monsenhor Rach recorded a time of 1:50.471.
From the start until the final 200 meters, the lead was hotly contested between Cromo D’Jok (*D’Jok PY x RT Crysti, by Nawwak NA*), ridden by Gabriel Santana on the outside, and Ozymandias Rach (*Sir Bani Yas x Orchestra Rach, by Vaillant Rach*), with Fernando Larroque on the inside.
Once again under the precise guidance of Jeane Alves, Monsenhor Rach (*Seraphin Du Paon x Musa Rach, by *Polonez*) showed his trademark composure. With a powerful surge, he overtook Cromo D’Jok, pulled ahead, and claimed the lead with authority.
In the final meters, Cromo D’Jok was further challenged by Stud Brasil Gávea (*Stud Brasil Mondesir x *Manari, by Dormane*), ridden by Jeffecleone Bispo, who advanced on the inside to secure second place.
“We are very happy with this second victory. It was an excellent race, and Monsenhor Rach once again demonstrated his style: he tracks his opponents calmly and finishes with confidence to win,” celebrated Ricardo Jamil Saliba, breeder and owner of Rach Stud Agropecuária.
Trainer Lucas Quintana also praised the horse’s development: “Monsenhor Rach took a little while to stand out in his early races, but he was always among the front runners. He likes to run freely, which is why the jockeys hold him back at the start and then let him do what he loves most: run and win.”
Filhos do Deserto handicap race was organized by the Arabian Horse Breeders Brazilian Association in partnership with the São Paulo Jockey Club.
