French-bred Arabian Bayareq carried the colours of owner Osama Omer al-Dafea to success when taking the second race at Stuzewiec Racecourse, Poland, on Sunday. The three-year-old trained by Macie Kacprzyk improved on a recent second place at Warsaw and took the 1,600m contest by one-and-a-half lengths under a good ride from jockey Konrad Mazur. Raayat Al Majd finished second, with Bashar Ibn Sayf a further four lengths back in third. Bred by Amjad al-Jumaliy, Bayareq is by the Umm Qarn Purebred Arabian stallion and five-time Group 1 PA winner Majd Al Arab, who stands at Haras du Grand Courgeon in France. Bayareq is out of Wahash, a daughter of top racehorse and stallion Djendel.
