DUBAI
Dual Listed features at Jebel Ali Racecourse on Friday and the speedsters were first up in the 1000m Jebel Ali Sprint which proved a memorable event for trainer Doug Watson who not only saddled the winner, Al Tariq but provided runner-up Fanaar for good measure.
Quickly away, Pat Dobbs soon took the winner to the head of affairs, but at halfway, last year’s winner Alkaraama and Leading Spirit, third 12 months ago, loomed as dangerous challengers.
However, Dobbs’ mount found plenty for pressure, quickening away from that pair to have the race won entering the final 200m when Fanaar started to run on to claim second but never looking like denying his stable companion. A 5-year-old gelded son of Oasis Dream, it was a case of third time lucky locally for the winner, doubling his career tally having won a 1400m in France back in April 2019.
The winner is owned by Abdulmohsen Al Abdulkareem and Watson, who saddled Hammadi to win this in 2009, said: “I cannot tell you how delighted I am to win a big race like this for the owner who has been very loyal to us for many years.”
