Magna Grecia Star won the Distaff Cup with a powerful late finish at the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club’s Al Uqda Racecourse yesterday.Hassan Ali Alabdulmalik-owned and Debbie Mountain-trained three-year-old bay filly continued her upward trajectory this season, doubling her tally with a determined success in the Thoroughbred Fillies and Mares Graduation run over 1,400m to win the cup. The filly was patiently ridden before unleashing a powerful late sweep in the home straight, edging out the gallant September Leaves by a neck to secure the victory.The race was run at a solid and even tempo as Flashy Dark Angel dictated proceedings for much of the journey, tracked closely by Kaliysta, September Leaves and Ripple Effect, the leading quartet maintaining their positions through the early and middle stages with little change in the order. As they straightened, several runners began to close, but it was Magna Grecia Star and September Leaves who emerged as the principal dangers. Produced from the rear of the field, Magna Grecia Star unleashed a strong sweeping run from the outside, drawing alongside September Leaves and locking horns in a fierce duel all the way to the line. The pair flashed past the post almost together in a blanket finish, with the result only confirmed after a photo. Magna Grecia Star was eventually declared the winner by a very narrow margin. September Leaves, representing Al Eida Racing, trained by Gassim al-Ghazali and ridden by Marco Casamento, was gallant in defeat in second while Ripple Effect, racing for Abdulrahman Fahad al-Attiyah, from the Hamad al-Jehani yard and partnered by Saleh Faraj al-Otaibi, finished a further one and a quarter lengths back in third. In the penultimate race of the day, jockey Ivan Rossi completed a double as he rode Winston’s Tipple, in the silks of Al Jasra Stud, to victory in the Thoroughbred Handicap (65-85) race for three-year-old+.Settled just behind the early leaders, Winston’s Tipple watched a steadily run contest unfold as Lucentio dictated the tempo, tracked closely by See All Match and Cambria Legend. The trio maintained their positions through the early and middle stages with the pace remaining moderate while Winston’s Tipple was momentarily shuffled further back as the field bunched approaching the home turn. Passing the bend, Lucentio and See All Match appeared set to fight out the finish as they continued to control the race. Winston’s Tipple, however, emerged from the outside with perfect timing in the final 200m, unleashing a sharp turn of foot that saw him sweep past his rivals and strike the front in a matter of strides to land the spoils. Corpus Juris, representing Al Ghazali Stud, trained by Jassim al-Ghazali and partnered by Marco Casamento, stayed on well to secure second while Tamborrada, racing for Fahad Salem al-Hajri, prepared by Mohammed Hassan al-Matwi and ridden by Arnaud De Lepine, finished a further three-quarters of a length back in third. Earlier in the eight-race card opener, Rossi guided Dawod to the Purebred Arabian Maiden Plate race for three-year-olds.Dawod put a modest debut behind him to open his account in the over 1,400m, Class 6, race, prevailing by one and a half lengths from 14 runners. The bay gelding, racing for Al Wasmiyah Farm, trained by Hamad al-Jehani, under Rossi, showed marked improvement at just his second career start to get off the mark, with the progeny of Mister Ginoux dominating the first three places. Breaking well from barrier six, Dawod quickly moved to the front after Lzaz showed early speed from the gates. Once in control, Dawod travelled comfortably and set his own rhythm, never looking in danger as he maintained the advantage throughout. Lzaz, carrying the same colours, remained in close attendance and applied pressure along the way, with HM Al Jadwal tracking the leading pair. Turning for home, the order remained unchanged and Lzaz closed the gap inside the final 200m, briefly threatening to challenge. Dawod; however, responded willingly, keeping his rival at bay and holding on gamely to seal a deserved victory. Lzaz, representing the same ownership and handled by Mohammed al-Ghazali with Soufiane Saadi aboard, secured second to complete a one–two for Al Wasmiyah Farm. HM Al Jadwal, racing for Al Majd Stud, trained by Yousef al-Jumaily and ridden by Louis Nomis, finished a further three and a half length back in third, completing a clean sweep for the Mister Ginoux progeny.
