Warrawee Naaziq wins Wathba Stud Farm Cup in Australia

The HH Sheikh Mansoor bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Flat Racing Festival made its presence felt in three continents this week to continue on its mission to promote Purebred Arabian racing.

Like in every Sunday race meeting in Abu Dhabi the Wathba Stud Farm Cup race was held while in the US the Festival played host to the Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup (Group 2) race and the HH Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Ladies World Championship (IFAHR) race at the Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas on Saturday night.

And Down Under the Festival’s Wathba Stud Farm Cup was run at Mansfield in Victoria on Sunday, March 10, with Warrawee Naaziq once again emerging as the champion Arabian in Australia.

Kim Noble, the owner, trainer and jockey steered Warrawee Naaziq to a great finish and won a close battle with two other horses in an exciting finish.

Coolinda Park Dance With Me, owned and trained by Anthony Mountney and ridden by Samara Johnston and stablemate Majelica under Aaron Sweeney gave the winner a strong challenge in the 1750-metre race.

The three were involved in a close battle down the straight before Warrawee Naazi under Noble won by just half a length from Coolinda Park Dance With Me.
