UAE horses are chasing the 11th title in the English “2000 Guineas”.

This afternoon, the eyes of international horse racing fans are turning to the ancient Newmarket Racecourse in Britain, where the English “2000 Guineas” race, designated for three-year-old colts and classified as a Category 1 race, will start over a distance of 1,600 meters on grass.

The UAE horses are looking forward to achieving the 11th historic title in the prestigious classic championship, which dates back to the year 1809, through the participation of four horses, led by the undefeated Godolphin colt, “Notable Speach”, aspiring, under the supervision of coach Charlie Appleby, to write history, as he is competing for the first time. His race was on grass tracks, after three successive victories he achieved on artificial surfaces, especially since no horse since 1938 had ever won the Newmarket Classic race, after participating on artificial surfaces, since the horse “Nash” who won the title of that edition did it. .

The Shadwell team is fielding its representative, Al Bannai, under the supervision of coach Owen Barrows, in a race during which it aspires to a first title in the first category races, in its second attempt, after it finished runner-up last October in the “Dewhurst Stakes” race.

In addition to them, the two foals “Rosalion” and “Insherin” by Sheikh Mohammed bin Obaid Al Maktoum stand out. Under the supervision of trainer Richard Hannon, “Rosalion” enters the “classic” race on the back of achieving his first victory in the first category races last October, when he was crowned with the “Prix Jacques-Luc Lagadier” title on the second day of the “Arc de Triomphe” festival at the French “Longchamp” racecourse.

In turn, “Incherin”, under the supervision of coach Kevin Ryan, is looking forward to taking on the challenge of racing in this category, after only two participations in the world of racing, which he concluded with victory last March in a race that extended over the same distance of 1,600 meters, but on the British “Newcastle” track.

It is noteworthy that the last title for UAE horses in the English race came through the colt “Correbas” for “Godolphin” in the 2022 edition, when it won the title under the supervision of coach Charlie Appleby.
