Six races in Abu Dhabi on Thursday evening, just the one for Thoroughbreds, the concluding 1400m handicap which has attracted the maximum field allowed of 14, the weights headed by El Patriota.
Trained by Antonio Cintra, the 5yo gelding arrived in the UAE having won three times, from just four starts, in his native South America, twice in Listed company.
He then, as a 3yo, made a winning local debut at the end of January 2021 in the Al Bastakiya Trial over 1900m on the Meydan Racecourse dirt track but has failed to add to that success in 11 subsequent outings.
