DOHA: Glory Of The Stars, owned by Hassan Ali A M Alabdulmalik, continued her winning streak by securing the Distaff Cup title in style at Al Uqda Racecourse yesterday.
The five-year-old mare, trained by Debbie Mountain Clare Mountain and ridden by Jefferson Smith, showcased her growing confidence after breaking her maiden just two weeks ago.
Displaying an impressive turn of foot in the final 200m, she surged past the leading pack to claim a commanding three-and-a-half length victory.
The win marked a superb double on the day for her connections as Clare Mountain –trained Road To The East had earlier won the Thoroughbred Handicap 50-70 under Alberto Sanna.
Also yesterday, Marco Casamento completed a double after guiding Dhouha to Local Purebred Arabian Handicap 70-90 title.
