Joud Al Cham leads Al Shaqab Racing 1-2 at Prix Baroud II

Toulouse: The Prix Baroud II, a conditions race for Purebred Arabians aged 4 and over, saw a 1-2 for the colours of Al Shaqab Racing when Joud Al Cham (Azadi x Taj Al Chame) led home Mounjared Al Cham (Azadi x Al Moutawakila). 

Both are 5-year-old horses and owned in association by Al Shaqab Racing and Nada Mousli. Both are trained by Thomas Fourcy, and both bred by Hassan and Nada Mousli (Mounjared Al Cham in association with Faiz Al Elweet). And only a nose separated these two horses on the finish line of this 2,100-meter race in Toulouse, France. Joud Al Cham, ridden by Julien Augé, was drawn on the inside in this 7-runner race, and went straight to lead. Setting a steady pace, he ran relaxed and unchallenged for the frontrunner position, whilst Mounjared Al Cham sat towards the rear.
