Doha: Al Jeryan Stud’s Al Lusail (Footstepsinthesand x Gooey) stayed true to his favourite status when he won the Halul Island Cup (Far Bend) for Local Thoroughbreds for the second straight year at the turf track at Al Rayyan Park, yesterday.
In the process the Hadi Nasser Rashid Al Ramzani schooled 6yo stayed unbeaten this term, having grabbed a hat-trick.
Ridden by Ronan Thomas in the 2400m race, Al Lusail was unstoppable once he was in his stride on the home stretch, beating Khalifa Bin Sheail Al Kuwari’s Abu Samrah (Zafeen x Starks), ridden by Marco Casamento for Gassim Mohammad Ghazali, by one and a half lengths.
