				       On  Saturday 19 September the Chilivani racecourse hosted two important races for  Purebred Arabian sponsored by the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival.
				       In the Listed Race for 4 years  and over, the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup, victory at the edge of the  pole by the very favorite Ramiz Al Aziz (Akbar x Win Taouy) who only in the  final meters bent the resistance of the brave Antares Del Ma (AF Albahar x  Majie De Piboul), replicating the success achieved last year.
				       Trained by Endo Botti Galoppo  snc and Manuela Daverio-Scharfenberg’s Ramiz Aziz was ridden by Italian jockey  Antonio Fresu. 
				       Antares Del Ma, ridden by  Maikol Arras and trained by Giulia Accorra, yielded to his rival only near the  finish line, causing the farmer partner Azienda Agricola del Ma and the owner  Anna Teresa Vincentelli, also an ANICA shareholder, to be anxious to the last.  However, the native won the first prize to the breeder.
				       Also trained by Endo Botti  Galoppo snc, Zoe di Gallura (Ulumu x Elettra de Nulvi), homebred of the partner  Giovanna Picconi, finished third under the saddle of Mario Sanna.

				       The Wathba Stallion Summer Cup  saw the triumph of Ballad (Damish x Qatarh), bred by partner Piero Putzu and  belonging to the T.S.A. partner stable, ridden by Alessandro Fiori and trained  by Mariatina Floris dominated the thick field of starters preceding the  favorite Belshatsar (Dahess x Win Toauy). 
				       Belshatsar, mounted by Andrea  Fredu, is another horse trained by Endo Botti Galoppo snc and owned by Manuela  Daverio-Scharfenberg.
				       Trained by Cosimo Congiu, Bonta  Sarda (Qatar di Gallura x Curre Sola) finished third place. The horse is owned  by Andrea Gosamo and was conducted by Nino Murru.
				       Once again the synergy between sponsors, ANICA and the Chilivani  racecourse has given good results: see you next year!
