Racing at Meydan on Sunday, a matinee meeting, was officially highlighted by a rated conditions stakes over 1600m on dirt in which Royal Mews and Tadhg O’Shea proved far too good, completing an early double on the card for Bhupat Seemar.
In a field of seven, O’Shea settled his mount, a 5yo gelded son of Siyouni racing in the silks of Deva Racing, in midfield and, perhaps significantly slightly wide out of any kickback. Once asked to win his race at the top of the straight, the outcome was soon beyond any doubt.
