Akoya strikes again for van den Bos, Waterland

There seems to be no stopping the winning combination of trainer Karin van den Bos and owner Landgoed Waterland in the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Flat Racing Festival’s races.

The latest in a series of wins for the pair came at the L’Chilivani racecourse in Ozieri, Italy on Saturday, September 15 after Akoya won the feature event out of the three races held under the umbrella of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival.

Akoya under Jean-Baptiste Hamel won the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup, a Listed race with a prize fund of Euros 35,200.

Trained by van den Bos and owned by Waterland, Akoya finished nearly five lengths ahead of Shadwan Al Khalediah ridden by Pierantonio Convertino while Ramiz Al Aziz under Andrea Fele finished third.

Akoya had on September 2 given the owner-trainer a win in the Festival’s HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Apprentice World Championship (IFAHR) race at Denmark’s Klampenborg racecourse.

Karin van den Bos and Landgoed Waterland started with a double win on the ice and snow tracks of St Moritz in Switzerland with Dynamites in February 2018 and again registered a double win on August 20, 2018, at the Wellington racecourse in the Belgian city of Ostend.

In Ostend, first Dynamites struck again to win the HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Apprentice World Championship race under Belgian Juri Bogaerts for the owner-trainer combination and later Karin van den Bos saddled the winner for Waterland when Lightning Bolt won the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup Group 3 race run over 1,800 metres.

The second race under the Festival’s umbrella here in Italy on Sunday was the Wathba Stallions Summer Cup and Manou Taouy under Andre Fele won the race. Nina Taouy under Mario Sanna finished second while in third place was Zaffiro de Lottas under Dario Di Tocco.

Enna Thomas on Sangria was all smiles after winning the Festival’s HH Sheikha Lateefa Bint Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan International Pony championship race. Thomas will now join the other winners of the HH Sheikha Lateefa series in the final to be held in Abu Dhabi in November.
