Brazil, Cidade Jardim Hipódromo 23 November 2024
The 7-year-old gray mare Allure BV emerged victorious in the inaugural IFAHR Trophy Race in South America, held at the Cidade Jardim Hippodrome on November 23rd. This prestigious event, organized by the Arabian Horse Breeders Brazilian Association, showcased the talent of 10 of the finest Arabian horses in South America in a handicap race over 1,600 meters on turf, for horses aged three years and older.
The race was a highly anticipated event, drawing an enthusiastic crowd eager to witness the competition. Initially, Cromo D’Jok Trio, ridden by apprentice jockey Gabriel Santana, dominated the race with a strong performance, closely followed by Passionaddo Rach. However, in an impressive display of skill and determination, Allure BV, guided by apprentice jockey Danilo Novais, launched a strategic attack from the outside, moving into second place.
In the final 400 meters, Allure BV and Cromo D’Jok Trio were neck and neck, delivering an exhilarating finish that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. Ultimately, Allure BV managed to pull ahead, winning by a narrow margin that was confirmed by a photo finish. This victory marks Allure BV’s third win and her second consecutive triumph, having previously won the UAE President Cup for Colts & Fillies VII Award just two weeks prior, setting a record for the 1,400 meters for females.
Stud Brasil Itacaré, a debutant in the race, also put up a commendable performance, finishing third. This mare, owned by Bolívar Figueiredo and bred by Fazenda and Haras Stud Brasil Agrop. Ltda., exceeded expectations despite her limited training time. Her performance added an extra layer of excitement to the race, highlighting her potential for future competitions.
Key figures in the race included:
- Allure BV (*D’Jok Py x *Arzade Cabirat by Rhalan Cabirat), ridden by Danilo Novais, trained by Thiago Haidar, and bred and owned by Haras Bom Viver.
- Cromo D’Jok Trio (*D’Jok Py x RT Crysti by Nawwak NA), ridden by Gabriel Santana, trained by Thiago Haidar, and bred and owned by Trio Agropecuária Ltda.
- Stud Brasil Itacaré (Stud Brasil Mondesir x *Manari by Dormane), ridden by Jeane Alves, trained by Thiago Haidar, owned by Haras Platina, and bred by Fazenda and Haras Stud Brasil Agrop. Ltda.
Owner Pedro Stefani Marino: “It was another brilliant race for Allure BV, which at the beginning was in the top positions and in the straight line she managed to catch up to her half-brother and they both crossed together, with a small advantage for her. It was a truly impressive race in which my father, Zezo Marino, was present and we are immensely happy with this second consecutive victory for Allure BV and third in three races.”
Trainer Thiago Haidar: “Our animals had an excellent race and we believed that Allure BV would win, but this time it wasn’t like the previous ones. Cromo D’Jok Trio, her half-brother, took advantage of the eight-kilogram weight difference, which made all the difference at the finish line.”
Jockey Danilo Novais: “This was Allure BV’s first race over a mile and she was overweight; and since her debut she has shown that she likes to run. Since she is a mare that likes to run at the front, today I preferred to keep her further back, well positioned. I was in third position and at the start of the straight the other opponents approached and I felt that she was in great shape, eager to run and very easy to handle.”
Almir José Ribeiro, Racing Director at ABCCA, said: “The holding of the first IFAHR Cup Race in Latin America is extremely important, as it places Brazil and Latin American countries in the World of Arabian Horse Racing in an in-disputable way.
“Today we witnessed one of the most exciting races in 10 years. We predict-ed that half-brothers Allure BV and Cromo D’Jok Trio would provide an excellent show, and they did. I want to highlight the importance of Stud Brasil Itacaré’s achievement of third place, as she is owned by a traditional breeder of Arabian show horses who was enchanted by the races and believed in them; and this achievement will attract other owners.
“Once again, our thanks to IFAHR and its president,H.E. Faisal Al Rahmani, for their trust in this important mission of promoting and fostering Arabian horse racing in the world.”
Prêmio IFAHR Cup Race was organised by Arabian Horse Breeders Brazilian Association in partnership with Jockey Club de São Paulo.
