BACK-TO-BACK WINS FOR EKLEEL ATHBAH IN THE IFAHR TROPHY

Ekleel Athbah recorded back-to-back wins in the £25,000 Group 2PA International Federation of Arabian Horse Racing Authorities (IFAHR) Trophy this afternoon at Chester on the races’ inaugural run under new sponsorship and at a new track. Ridden on this occasion by Sam Hitchcott, the five-year-old mare won readily by two lengths, from Qatari raider AJS Saaeq, ridden by Tadhg O’Shea, with Zayin Angkor Centurion and Phil Dennis a further length and a half behind in third.

This was Athbah Racing’s third consecutive win in the race formerly known as the Za’abeel International when it was run at Newbury, and a fourth win for trainer Phil Collington. Afterwards a delighted Collington said: “We’re over the moon with her. Sam got off her and said he got a dream run through. Obviously she’ll come on a little bit for it, but I felt I had her in great shape today, I couldn’t have been happier with her in the run up to the race.

“She’s had a few hold-ups due to developmental problems and Fernando Perez her vet and the staff at Baker McVeigh and everyone at home have been instrumental in getting her to the track today. So onwards to Goodwood now.”

Hitchcott commented: “She’s come forward a lot since I last rode her at Newbury. She’s strengthened and is a much better than she was last year and she’s got the class to go further if they go a nice even gallop. She’s very quick filly, if they’d gone a bit slower, she’d have been very keen, but potentially it’s a nice steppingstone for her from coming back after Saudi, heading towards Goodwood.

“That was just a nice piece of work for her in the end, as the splits came for her at the right time. The best thing about her is her turn of foot, I’d imagine AJS Saaeq will come on for that run, if he could have come out a bit earlier, he might have given me more of a race.”

Asked what he felt about riding an Arabian at Chester he concluded, “I was glad she had a hood on going to post, as there’s a lot more happening here than most places, but she took it very well, a turning track like this just stops them thinking too much and keeps their mind on the job.”

Andrew Tulloch, Head of Racing at Chester Racecourse, commented, “Chester Racecourse was delighted to see Arabian racing return to the Roodee for the first time in 19 years by hosting the IFAHR Trophy. We congratulate Ekleel Athbah and winning connections on another success in this black type race and thank the ARO and all the horses, owners, trainers and jockeys for coming to Chester to showcase Purebred Arabian sprinting.”

Brendan Waterworth of Racing Welfare, sponsors of the Best Turned Out Award presented to Deanna Middleton for Abiyah Athbah said, “It’s great to be able to support Arabian racing as part of Racing Staff Week. This was the seventh year of the event, kindly supported by Betfair and we’ve had some great activities around the country including a charity race at Chepstow which ended in a photo finish. Being here today was a fantastic way to round off 90% of the week as we’ve another event at Uttoxeter tomorrow.”

Genny Haynes, ARO Chief Executive Officer said, “ARO warmly congratulates Athbah Racing and all of the Collington team with their second consecutive win with Ekleel Athbah, who is our top-rated UK Arabian. We were thrilled to return to Chester with such a high-profile contest, as it’s always a pleasure to introduce our sport to a new audience. I understand the crowd was just over 20,000 strong and they all seemed to be enjoying our race that concluded the card today.

“We were also pleased to welcome Qatari owner trainer Mohammed bin Hamad Khalifa Al Attiyah to the UK with AJS Saaeq, his first Arabian runner as a trainer here. We hope that his involvement will encourage more international stables to see the UK as a suitable base for a summer campaign.”

Concluding she said, “We thank IFAHR for their sponsorship of this race and Racing Welfare and Chester for supporting our racing this season.”

ARABIAN RACING RETURNS TO CHESTER FOR THE IFAHR TROPHY

The Arabian Racing Organisation (ARO) is delighted to be returning to Chester on Saturday 1 July after a near 20-year break with the inaugural running of the Group 2PA International Federation of Arabian Horse Racing (IFAHR) Trophy. Under its previous title of the Za’abeel International and latterly the Royal Cavalry of Oman International, the six-furlong contest has a long history of confirming top class sprinters and boasts a prize fund of £25,000.

Heading the list of nine entries is AJS Saaeq from Qatar. The five-year-old won the Qatar International Cup (Gr1PA) over a mile in February in Doha and is one of three horses currently summering in Newmarket with their trainer Mohammed bin Hamad Khalifa Al Attiyah. Last year’s winner Ekleel Athbah is one of three entries from 2022 ARO leading trainer, Phil Collington, the others being Lujain and Jameelaty.

Double handed could be Peter Hammersley with last year’s third and fourth, Abiyah Athbah and Zayin Angkor Centurion. Whilst current ARO Leading trainer James Owen enters his homebred filly Victoria, with the domestic challenge completed by Gavin Kelly’s Mulan.

There could be further international flavour with El Zarka DA entered from Belgium. Now nine, Johan Verstrapen’s gelding was third in this contest back in 2019.

Andrew Tulloch, Head of Racing at Chester Racecourse, said, “Chester Racecourse is delighted to be staging the ARO’s first black type race of the year, the IFAHR Trophy, on Saturday. Marking the welcome return of Arabian racing to the world’s oldest racecourse for the first time since 2004, we would like to thank the ARO for the opportunity to showcase this renowned, Purebred Arabian sprinting contest, in what promises to be a thrilling finale to our racecard.”

Genny Haynes, ARO Chief Executive Officer said, “ARO is thrilled to be returning to Chester with such a high profile contest. With this race under new sponsorship and at a new venue, it’s great to have attracted several international entries, as well last year’s winner and several of our other top rated domestic Arabians. We thank IFAHR and Chester for supporting our racing this season and look forward to bringing Arabian racing to a new audience on Saturday.”

THAYDAH ATHBAH A CLEAR WINNER OF THE WATHBA STALLIONS CUP NOVICE AT ROYAL WINDSOR

Thaydah Athbah and Tadhg O’Shea put in an impressive performance to win the Wathba Stallion Cup Novice Stakes by nine and a half lengths at Royal Windsor this evening. The four-year-old filly was recording her second career win for Phil Collington and Athbah Racing, coasting home ahead of Victoria and Callum Hutchinson, with Coljani partnered by Mohammed Tabti in third.

O’Shea commented, “She’s a very nice filly, I said to Phil it would have taken a very good filly to beat her tonight, she was ultra-impressive. She’s big, with loads of scope, and very straightforward, they’ll be plenty of improvement to come, she’ll be even better going over further.”

Collington said, “It was lovely to see her have a perfect sit and what we talked about before the race was just to see her lengthen up the straight, which is exactly what she did. Tadhg said she really stretched for him, the further she goes the better she goes, it’s another stepping-stone towards Doncaster and the UK Derby which is still very much the objective.”

This was the second of eight races sponsored under the banner of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival, which also includes the HH Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Cup (Gr3PA), which this year has a prize fund increase to £20,000.

Lara Sawaya, Executive Director of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Racing Festival said, “The Festival sponsors 153 races globally in 2023 as well as the World Arabian Horse Racing Forum and the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Jewel Crown which is held in Abu Dhabi in December. The Festival is delighted to be back at Royal Windsor supporting the Arabian Racing Organisation and we congratulate the winners today."

Genny Haynes, ARO Chief Executive Officer said, “ARO congratulates Athbah Racing and all of the Collington team on their win with Thaydah Athbah. We are also delighted to see ten times UAE Champion Jockey Tadhg O’Shea back riding Arabians in the UK.

“We are also pleased to see the that all the horses that lined up this evening were homebreds as the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival’s Wathba Stallions Cup races are so important to support our breeders and we are very grateful to the Festival for their continued patronage of our racing in the UK.

“We also thank Baker McVeigh International for sponsoring the Best Turned Out Award won by Sue Wileman for Coljani.”
