Mon nia yesterday ended the hat-trick bid of title favourite Ebraz to win the prestigious Amir Sword in spectacular fashion at Al Rayyan Park.
The Julian Smart-trained five-year-old mare (Amer x Margouia) won the $1m race ahead of Ebraz following a thrilling run in the 2400 marathon turf run.
Owned by H E Sheikha Yasmeen Bint Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Thani, Mon nia looked hard to catch after the final bend as jockey Tomas Lukasek steered the Smart-trained entry to secure the top prize of $570,000.
Just three weeks ago, the Lukasek-Mon nia combination had warmed up for the Amir Sword race by winning the Gr3 H E Sheikh Joaan Bin Hamad Al Thani Trophy.
