Meydan glory for Campeao

The first ever race at Meydan, the Group 1 Maktoum Challenge for Purebred Arabians was win in great style by No Risk Al Maury, owned by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum who also sponsored the race.

The winner was trained by Gill Duffield, while the same owner was also responsible for the runner-up Santhal, as well as the fourth Kandar Du Falgas. The owner's retained jockey, Richard Hills, was aboard the winner and, coincidentally, partnering his 450th UAE winner in the process.

He was delighted: "Of course it is great to ride the first winner here and extra special now you have told me it was my 450th. This is a nice horse though and one we thought would love this new track."

The Thoroughbred equivalent was won by Dubai International Racing Carnival regular Gloria De Campeao who battled bravely to land the spoils in the 1600m feature. Never far off the pace, he had to fight off several challenges, and was actually headed turning for home, but fought back to regain the advantage inside the final 100m.

His trainer Pascal Bary said: "This horse loves Dubai and never runs a bad race. We will be aiming him for the World Cup in which he was an excellent second last year."

The first two Thoroughbred races went the way of the Mike De Kock/Christophe Soumillon/Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum combination with Raihana winning the 1400m UAE 1000 Guineas Trial, before Lizard's Desire landed the 1950m handicap, from stable companion King of Rome.

De Kock said: "We thought they would all run well and it is obviously a great start to the Carnival. Raihana will go for the Guineas and we will decide what to do with Lizard's Desire after the handicapper has had a look."

Luca Cumani and Kieren Fallon then combined with Drunken Sailor who won the 2200m handicap in good style to the delight of the trainer who said: "We were hopeful but nothing more. That is his first start for us."

Another UK winner followed with Ted Durcan in the saddle on Sir Gerry, trained by John Best. Last turning for home, Durcan's mount ran on strongly to lead close home and the jockey said: "He has done that nicely and clearly loves the surface."

A third for the UK was registered in the last, a 1400m handicap, by Ryan Moore on the Jeremy Noseda-trained Leahurst.

Godolphin joined in the party in the 2000m handicap in which Frankie Dettori made all on Whispering Gallery to score a comprehensive success. A delighted jockey said: "This place is fantastic and going to be awesome. It is a big relief to get that first winner on the board."

The Tapeta track was generally well received and winners on the night came from both high and low draws from off the pace and from those who raced prominently suggesting a fair chance for all.

Gloria de Campeao grabs glory in Meydan opener

Gloria de Campeao (Brz), a turf Group 1 winner who finished second in the Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1) on the dirt, starred on the synthetic Tapeta Footings surface on Thursday in the opening card at the new Meydan Racecourse in Dubai.

The seven-year-old Impression horse scored by a half-length in the $200,000 Al Maktoum Challenge-Round 1 (UAE-G3) (video), a traditional World Cup prep that was his first start since a seventh-place finish to Gio Ponti in the Arlington Million Stakes (G1).

The 1,600-meter (7.95-furlong) Al Maktoum Challenge-Round 1 was the feature event of the inaugural card at Meydan, an extravagant facility that was the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum and cost approximately $1.25-billion.

Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin Racing had both Midshipman, the champion two-year-old male of 2008, and defending winner My Indy in the Maktoum Challenge Round 1, but neither hit the board.

Midshipman faded after taking the lead into the stretch and finished fourth, beaten 5½ lengths under jockey Frankie Dettori. My Indy finished last in the full field of 14.

Gloria de Campeao contested the pace and kicked in along the rail to grab command in mid-stretch for jockey Tiago Pereira. He held off closing Forgotten Voice in the final strides and stopped the clock in 1:38.43.

“This horse loves Dubai and never runs a bad race,” trainer Pascal Bary said. “We will be aiming him for the World Cup, in which he was an excellent second last year."

Consul General finished third, another 2 ¾-lengths behind Forgotten Voice.

French-based Bary oversees Gloria de Campeao for owner Stefan Friborg. The Brazilian-bred horse raced on the old dirt course at Nad al Sheba racecourse last winter, finishing fifth in the Challenge Round 1 last January and fourth in the Derrinstown Stud Al Maktoum Challenge Round 2 (UAE-G3), before following 14 lengths behind runaway winner Well Armed in the World Cup.

Pereira teamed with Gloria de Campeao for the first time in a neck triumph in the $2,028,009 Singapore Airlines International Cup (Sin-G1) on May 17, which was his only start between the World Cup and Arlington Million.

Godolphin got off the mark at Meydan with a victory by Whispering Gallery in a $175,000 handicap that immediately preceded the feature race (video).

"This place is fantastic and going to be awesome,” Dettori said. “It is a big relief to get that first winner on the board."

Trainer Michael de Kock, jockey Christophe Soumillon, and owner Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa al Maktoum swept the first two Thoroughbred races on the card with Raihana in a $50,000 trial for the United Arab Emirates One Thousand Guineas and with Lizard’s Desire in a $110,000 handicap.
