Al Harqah wins Al Waab Cup

Alanoud Khalifa A A al-Malki-owned and trained Al Harqah won the Al Waab Cup at the Al Uqda Racecourse on Thursday.
Ridden by Carlos Henrique, the eight-year-old mare responded nicely when asked for an extra effort in the final strides and quickened up well to land the spoils. She finished three quarters of a length ahead of Wathnan Racing’s Alban Elie De Mieulle-trained Brahms. Mohamed Abdulhadi S al-Hajris’s Maysara came third. In the penultimate race of the day, Sheikha Yasmeen bint Mohamed bin Khalifa al-Thani’s Nazwa won the 2100m contest for Purebred Arabian Graduation Plate for four-year-old+. QREC Racing Manager, Abdulla Rashid al-Kubaisi, crowned the winners.
