Friday’s final meeting of the season at Al Ain Racecourse featured the Final Leg Of The Al Ain Marathon Series, a 5100m Prestige handicap which was turned into a procession by Ajjaj, never headed under Adrie de Vries.

Thursday’s penultimate fixture of the Meydan Racecourse season was highlighted by what had appeared a competitive 1600m handicap, the Azizi Victoria, but was actually turned into something of a procession by Nathr, one of trainer Doug Watson’s quintet. Soon in front in the hands of Jim Crowley, retained jockey to the horse’s owner, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Nathr always looked to be travelling well within himself and ultimately skipped clear, crossing the line seven lengths superior of toiling opposition.

Racing at Meydan Racecourse on Thursday features a seven race card and highlighted by a competitive 1600m handicap for which 15 have been declared, including five by Doug Watson.
