Doha: Mohammed Saeed Haidan put on an excellent round astride 11-year-old stallion D Saucedo to clinch the Medium Tour title during the eighth round of the Longines Hathab Qatar Equestrian Tour, supported by The Social & Sport Contribution Fund, yesterday.
At the Qatar Equestrian Federation’s outdoor arena, Haidan and D Saucedo topped the 36-strong field with a fastest time of 36.67 seconds. The pair narrowly beat French rider Cyrine Cherif and her nine-year-old stallion Brennus Villelongue, who missed out on top spot by a narrow margin of 0.29 seconds. Just 0.03 seconds behind was Nasser Al Ghazali on Hurry Up, but the rider had to be content with third spot.
