![EJAZ WINS AT FIRST 1,000M TEST](https://cdn.magzter.com/1617717947/1720904391/articles/yYb6tdHns1720914703250/EJAZ-WINS-AT-FIRST-1000M-TEST.jpg)
Manoel Nunes kept shaking his head and uttering the same word over and over as he led Ejaz back to the winner's circle on July 13 - "unbelievable".
The Brazilian jockey has thrown his leg over a few quick ones in his glittering riding career, but the AlArabiya Stable-owned sprinter was clearly special to him.
While Ejaz might not be in the same league as the Spalato, Stepitup or Infantry whom Nunes has guided to countless Group 1 victories, he still held the Street Boss four-year-old in high esteem.
That opinion would have soared even higher after Ejaz's courageous come-from-behind win at his very first test over 1,000m in the $70,000 Class 3 race.
"It was unbelievable, just unbelievable what he did today. I told Mansoor (Gandhi, Al-Arabiya's owner) the 1,000m might be too sharp for him, especially as we cannot work him that much," said Nunes, alluding to Ejaz's touchand-go career due to a well-documented screw in his right knee.
