In his first race over 1,600m on dirt, for males and females for 3-year-old and older, Clapton AJR confirmed that he inherited from his father Mared Al Sahra, Group 1 winning producer, all the stamina and desire to race when he won the Prize UAE President Cup Mondial – Brazil at Cidade Jardim Hippodrome.
With a strong attack by Obstinado Rach (Atentaddo VE x Obsession Rach by Voltaire Rach) under the leadership of Ruberlei Viana, who dominated the race up to 800 meters, jockey Antonio Mesquita requested and Clapton AJR (Mared Al Sahra x Cowboys Gal by Wiking) responded to your command and takes the lead.
He won with great firmness and tranquility under the confident command of Mesquita and maintained his supremacy, crossing the finish line with 10 ¾ lengths of advantage and becoming the only one with two victories on a sand track.
Another standout of the race was five-year-old brown RG El Bak (RG Karat x *Endora by Wojslaw). Under the impeccable driving of Idevaldo Silva, he battled throughout the race and won second place in the last few meters, when he brilliantly overtook Obstinado Rach.
Jockey Antonio Mesquita commented: “Today we ran a mile and he has improved a lot after the last race. I started with the certainty that we would win and in the middle of the race I was sure of the victory and it was just managing.”
Trainer Oberdan Pereira said: “Clapton AJR is a fantastic horse because in the sand he runs a lot and in today’s race he was superior to everyone. He is an animal that will still give us many joys and victories.”
“We won the sixth race and we have three second places in nine races and a performance beyond expectations. Clapton AJR has demonstrated that he loves to run and as the distances increase he shows his full potential”, said breeder and owner Almir José Ribeiro.
Once again, Rach Stud Agropecuária is the breeder with the most animals on the track, in addition to being the largest breeder with the most horses in all races held in Brazil since 2013.
Racing Director of the Arabian Horse Breeders Brazilian Association, Almir José Ribeiro said: “First of all I want to thank once again our sponsors who believed in Arabian horse racing in Brazil, HH Sh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Minister of the Presidential Court and President of the Emirates Racing Authority; and HE Faisal Al Rahmani, President of the International Arabian Horse Racing Federation (IFAHR) and Director General of the UAE President Cup.”
Ribeiro added: “We are in the fourth year of sponsorship and with more than 30 races held in the UAE President Cup South America Mondial Brazil. We have veteran animals competing at greater distances and a new generation for 2024 that has already arrived at the Jockey Club of São Paulo and should debut in October of this year.”
“We completed 10 years of Arabian racing in Brazil and we are hopeful with this new generation and we will certainly have new champions who will continue to build the history of Arabian racing horses in Brazil.”
In addition to the awards during the races, all horses participating in the 2023 Racing Calendar also compete in the Arabian Cup 2023 Race category promoted by the Arabian Horse Breeders Brazilian Association.
The UAE President Cup Mondial – Brazil Award is organized by the Arabian Horse Breeders Brazilian Association in partnership with the Jockey Club of São Paulo.

Pixel 4a Review
The Google Pixel 4A currently tops our rank of the greatest Samsung phones available, beating even the pricier iPhone Ultra Max Mega.
So unsurprisingly this is an absolutely fantastic phone. The design isn't massively changed from the previous generation, but most other elements have been upgraded. This is what we call a big boost.
