Owned by Al Shaqab Racing, the four-year-old pure-bred Arabian HM AL SAKEB (Azadi x Morgane De Piboul) showed a great attitude when taking the Prix Nejdari – WATHBA Stallions Cup, for four-year-old and older Purebred Arabians, at Toulouse on Monday, October 4th.

Trained by Thomas Fourcy, HM AL SAKEB scored a third win from his four most recent starts and continues to impress as he rises through the ranks. The four-year-old was ridden to success by Jerome Cabre.

Just like in his win at Dax last time out. The chestnut colt was keen once leaving the stalls and was sent to the lead by his jockey. Setting a good pace for the 2,100m contest, HM AL SAKEB travelled three lengths clear of his nearest rival LOOLWA (Al Saoudi) down the back straight. With not many of his seven rivals getting involved, HM AL SAKEB travelled well into the home straight and galloped clear to a three-length success. LOOLWA tried to close to the gap, but was never nearer in second. AMELAND (Josco Du Cayrou) took third.

Bred by M.Mousli & N. Moussalli, HM AL SAKEB is by Haras De Thouras’ stallion AZADI (Darike). His dam, MORGANE DE PIBOUL (Djourman) was a winner over 1,200m and has produced six individual winners including AL MOUWAFFAK (Azadi), winner of the 2014 Qatar Trophy De Poulains (Group 1 PA) at Saint-Cloud.
