Gold Lily defeated Yousuf Mubarak YA al-Kuwari-owned and Hamad al-Jehani-trained Miracle Nation by a length and a quarter to notch up her second victory in a row for and in the process al-Seyabi also notched up his third win of the day.
Al Hedfa Stud’s Little Helen finished two lengths and a quarter behind Miracle Nation to come third.
Earlier, Gold Lily won the Thoroughbred Handicap 60-80 (Class 4) during the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club’s (QREC) second meeting on November 25.
Al-Seyabi also won the first two race of the day as he guided Khalifa bin Sheail KHJ al-Kuwari-owned and Julian Smart-trained Ejaaby to 1400m Purebred Arabian Maiden Plate for three-six-year-olds victory in the event opener and in the second race rode Jassim bin Hamad MA al-Atteya’s Nooran to victory in the Local Thoroughbred Maiden Plate for three-six-year-olds 1400m race.
