Shaikh Nasser has affirmed that the equestrian sports in Bahrain is one of the leading factors to promote Bahrain internationally and they embody the support and follow-up of His Majesty King Hamad.
The remarks come following the victory of Shaikh Nasser-owned horse Line of Departure in the British Stallion Stads EBF Cathedral Stakes which was held at Salisbury racecourse, London.
The race covered a distance of 1200m (grass field) and the horse was supervised by Fawzi Nass. Shaikh Nasser said this victory underlines the successful march of Bahrain’s equestrian sports internationally.
“This is the first appearance for Line of Departure this season and this victory will motivate us to achieve more,” Shaikh Nasser said, praising the efforts of jockey David Egan and trainer Roger Varian.
