Stewards' Reports for Al Maktoum Challenge R3 Sponsored By Skywards
SAHIB DU CLOS (FR) (R Ffrench) was crowded at start between FRYNCHMAN (US) (J Doyle), which jumped inwards, and NIESHAN (FR) (G Avranche), which was taken outwards by DARIYA (FR) (A Atzeni), which jumped outwards. Approaching the 1700m, SERAPHIN DU PAON (FR) (O Peslier) was eased, got its head up, and over-raced for a short distance when OMAYYADE THABET (FR) (C Sanchez) drifted outwards. Near the 750m, DJANET MONLAU (FR) (W Smith) was restrained and lost its position when racing to the inside of DARIYA (FR). RAMI (FR) (J Rosales), which was following, was restrained to avoid the heels of DJANET MONLAU (FR) as a consequence. On enquiry, it was established that at this stage of the race, DARIYA (FR) had endeavored to improve to the inside of FRYNCHMAN (US), which was commencing to tire, and in doing so DARIYA (FR) had shifted inwards causing DJANET MONLAU (FR) to be restrained. Jockey A Atzeni (DARIYA [FR]) was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under ERA Rule 69(i) and was subsequently suspended from riding in races for 1 day (Jebel Ali 23rd March, 2012) and fined AED 2500. MANAN (US) (P Cosgrave) returned having lost its left fore plate in running.

MARY FILDES (IRE) (T O’Shea) jumped awkwardly. PREPARED (GB) (S De Sousa) was slow to begin. KINGLET (USA) (M Barzalona) was crowded on jumping between OLD PAL (FR) (T Durcan) and NOOR ZABEEL (USA) (R Ffrench). Approaching the winning post on the first occasion, SURFER (USA) (R Mullen) commenced to race keenly and was crowded and eased between COUNTERGLOW (IRE) (L Dettori), which drifted outwards slightly, and FISCAL (GB) (A Atzeni), which drifted inwards slightly. A short distance later, SURFER (USA), which had continued to race keenly, was again eased when COUNTERGLOW (IRE) drifted inwards. NOOR ZABEEL (USA) raced keenly in the early and middle stages and passing the 1000m, shifted outwards and bumped FISCAL (GB) wider on the track.

AUGUST RUSH (SAF) (R Moore) stumbled on jumping. KANAF (IRE) (R Hills) was slow to begin. SEACHANTACH (USA) (R Mullen), HITCHENS (IRE) (S De Sousa) and ERGIYAS (USA) (K Ulubaev) all bumped on jumping. Shortly after the start, HITCHENS (IRE) and ERGIYAS (USA) raced tight between KRYPTON FACTOR (GB) (K Fallon) and SEACHANTACH (USA), with ERGIYAS (USA) having to be eased. Passing the 1000m, ERGIYAS (USA) ran inwards abruptly, causing KANAF (IRE) to be eased momentarily. On the bend near the 550m, HITCHENS (IRE), JASOOS (IRE) (J Doyle) and IVER BRIDGE LAD (GB) (M O’Connell) raced tight to the inside of SEACHANTACH (USA) for a short distance, when SEACHANTACH (USA) drifted inwards slightly. The tiring IVER BRIDGE LAD (GB) brushed the running rail and was eased at this time. Passing the 150m, AUGUST RUSH (SAF) altered course when KRYPTON FACTOR (GB) shifted inwards. AUGUST RUSH (SAF) returned having lost its right fore plate in running.

MARAHEB (GB) (T O’Shea) jumped awkwardly. SILVER OCEAN (USA) (K Fallon) was slow to begin. Shortly after jumping, DUX SCHOLAR (GB) (R Moore) was crowded and eased between RAJSAMAN (FR) (R Ffrench) and MUSIR (AUS) (C Soumillon), which drifted outwards. KAVANGO (IRE) (P Cosgrave) raced keenly in the early and middle stages. Approaching the 1400m, SOORAAH (GB) (J Spencer) commenced to race keenly and was eased inwards away from heels of GITANO HERNANDO (GB) (R Hughes), causing JARDIM (BRZ) (K Shea) to be restrained. Passing the 1400m, VAGABOND SHOES (IRE) (O Peslier) was eased between SNAAFY (USA) (R Hills), which shifted inwards slightly, and KAVANGO (IRE), which when racing keenly, drifted outwards away from AFRICAN STORY (GB) (L Dettori), which drifted outwards. A short distance later, KAVANGO (IRE), which had continued to race keenly, was eased inwards away from SNAAFY (USA), impeding MUSIR (AUS) momentarily. When questioned regarding the performance of DUX SCHOLAR (GB), Jockey R Moore advised that whilst the colt had not previously raced on an all-weather surface, he had been working well on it. He advised further that the colt was inclined to hang during the race tonight. A post-race veterinary examination of DUX SCHOLAR (GB) revealed no significant physical abnormalities, however the colt was coughing at the time of the examination.

CITY STYLE (USA) (M Barzalona) stumbled on jumping. PRESVIS (GB) (R Moore) was slow to begin. FIRST CITY (GB) (R Ffrench) raced keenly in the early and middle stages. DUBAWI GOLD (GB) (R Hughes) got its head up and over-raced when being eased in the early stages. ALBAASIL (IRE) (R Hills) and FIRST CITY (GB) bumped making the home bend. Shortly after straightening, DUBAWI GOLD (GB) was disappointed for a run to the inside of MUTAHADEE (IRE) (C Soumillon) and was eased and altered course to the outside. Passing the 350m, CITY STYLE (USA) shifted outwards carrying DERBAAS (USA) wider on the track. MUTAHADEE (IRE) was impeded for clear running in the early parts of the straight, and leaving the 200m, shifted outwards crowding WIGMORE HALL (IRE) (J Spencer) outwards towards DERBAAS (USA) (T O’Shea), and then approaching the 100m, MUTAHADEE (IRE) shifted outwards carrying DERBAAS (USA) wider on the track, which momentarily impeded ALBAASIL (IRE). In this incident, DERBAAS (USA) was accidentally struck by the whip of Jockey C Soumillon (MUTAHADEE [IRE]). Jockey M Barzalona (CITY STYLE [USA]) was found guilty of breaching ERA Instruction 8(ii)(c)(vii) for hitting his horse with the whip without giving it time to respond and was subsequently suspended from riding in races for 1 day (Jebel Ali 23rd March, 2012) and fined AED 2500. A post-race veterinary examination of IBN BATTUTA (USA) (W Smith) revealed the horse to be lame in the left fore. Trainer Mr M Al Muhairi was advised that a Veterinary Certificate would be required prior to the horse being permitted to be entered to race again.
