HORSERACING – BYLINE, ridden by an in-form Ebrahim Nader for Al Adiyat Racing, lifted the RedX Industries Bahrain Cup last night in the evening’s richest race held at Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club (REHC) in Sakhir.
The eight-year-old gelding, trained by Daniel and Claire Kubler, triumphed in the 1,600m race for imported horses to take the lion’s share of the BD5,000 total prize.
In attendance during yesterday’s programme was Prime Minister’s Court Minister and REHC High Committee chairman Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
Byline won by a three-quarter’s length from runner-up Royal Scimitar, competing for owners Al Mohamediya Racing, trainer Mohamed Hasan, and jockey Soufiane Saadi. Juantorena was third for Victorious Forever, Fawzi Nass, and Alberto Sanna, while Pure Dreamer came fourth for Adiyat and the Kublers, with Benoit de la Sayette in the saddle.
Nader won three other times on yesterday’s eight-race card. He was triumphant on Zeal to take the Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club Sprint Cup, run over a 1,200m straight with BD4,000 on offer. The five-year-old gelding won for owner Mohammed Khalid Abdulrahim and trainer Haider Ebrahim.
