Al Shaqab Racing’s Lusail (IRE) (Mehmas x Diaminda) made a winning debut when he won the Constant Security ebfstallions.com Maiden Stakes, a 1,200 metrerace for two-year-olds at York, UK on Thursday.
Trained by Richard Hannon Jnr and ridden by Andrea Atzeni, Lusail showed his courage in the final stages as he pushed his way forward to challenge the leader, the Tim Easterby-trained and David Allan-ridden Mattice (GB) (Mattmu x Ice Mayden) and outpoint him by three-quarters of a length.
