Racing for 2023 in the UAE kicked off on Sunday, New Years day itself, with seven races at Jebel Ali, highlighted by the 1600m Jebel Ali Mile Prep which was totally dominated by the only mare among the eight runners, Down On Da Bayou likely never seeing a rival under Royston Ffrench, completing doubles for himself, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum and Salem bin Ghadayer.
Now a 6yo, the daughter of Super Saver will surely always be best remembered for her astonishing success, over 1900m at Meydan, in the 2020 Group 3 UAE Oaks, a contest she won by more than 18 lengths.
