One of the friendliest faces in the barn, COLOUR UP is currently pointing—all going well—to defending his Al Garhoud Sprint (Listed) title at Meydan on December 6. A return to the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen is his goal. He has won 5 of 11 races and has risen 30lbs in rating for Red Stables, including a gritty victory in February’s Jebel Ali Sprint (Listed).

Two veteran yard favorites with a lot of heart, AL TARIQ & EVERFAST, are both doing well after their seasonal debuts. The latter is coming up on another race soon.

Very happy to see MIZZYAAN doing well after being shipped stateside to Mike McCarthy in California over the summer, winning impressively at Santa Anita in October. Owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, the daughter of Justify trained through her 2yo and early 3yo seasons at Red Stables, making her first two starts, including a very brave 2nd in the UAE Oaks (G3). Wishing her well.
