Mubtaahij’s glorious UAE Derby victory for Mike De Kock at Meydan on Saturday was a memorable moment for SA horseracing fans and sets us up for a possible Kentucky Derby date
Runaway UAE Derby win for Mubtaahij as we salute Mike De Kock
Mubtaahij, Maftool, and My Johnny Be Good were among the 429 horses made eligible to the U.S. Triple Crown series during the early nomination period
Mubtaahij(IRE), ridden by Dane O’Neill, ended the Godolphin ace Sir Fever’s exceptional 10-run winning streak in Saturday’s Al Bastakiya
“I didn’t expect Mubtaahij to have so much gas in this race. He’s a smart horse, he’s by Dubawi and is suited to dirt. Dane rode a good race. Mubtaahij does look like a real Triple Crown contender.”
“He is a nice horse and it is never easy for a two-year-old against their elders – we have to be very pleased with him.”
Charl Pretorius writes in his Off The Record column on the 4Racing website that owners, trainers and racing fans are gravely concerned about the state of our industry
There has been a precipitous decline of betting on the Totalisator which gives cause for concern for the horseracing industry
