Mouheeb wins on debut at Jebel Ali
Thursday s second classic of the Dubai season, the Group 3 $125,000 UAE 2000 Guineas, has drawn a solid sextet, led by HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum s Jebel Ali Racecourse-based Mouheeb and Godolphin s Naval Crown. The 1600m (one mile) affair goes as the evening s third of six races.
Three weeks ago, Mouheeb valiantly battled leading local sophomore Rebel s Romance to a short head in the UAE 2000 Guineas Trial over this one-mile layout. On the merits of such, he is the co-favorite in this, despite his 95 official rating landing nine pounds short of Charlie Appleby-conditioned Naval Crown.
