Friday’s Al Ain card, seven races all for Purebred Arabians, was highlighted by the eighth running of the 1800m Al Ain Derby, a Prestige contest for 4yos foaled in the UAE and the unbeaten Fadwaan maintained his faultless record in style.
Saddled by Ahmed Al Mehairbi and partnered by Antonio Fresu, the colt has now won all four career starts, each time under the Italian jockey, twice over this course after a 1600m debut success, sandwiched between his other two victories, both at Prestige level, over 1400m and then 1600m, on the Abu Dhabi turf.
