Al Shaqab Racing’s homebred Aldafnah made a stunning Qatar debut last night, storming to a massive nine-and-a-half length victory to clinch the Al Beshariyah Cup at Al Rayyan Racecourse.
Guided by jockey Olivier d’Andigne, the Jean de Mieulle-trained filly looked a class apart in the 1900m feature for Purebred Arabian Premium Maiden (Class 6) culminating the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club’s (QREC) fifth Al Rayyan Meeting in style. The victory completed a hat-trick of titles for De Mieulle and a double for jockey D’Andigne on the 12-race card day.
