- Shaikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s Global Arabian Flat Racing Festival has been gaining popularity.
Wroclaw, Poland: The beautiful Partynice race course in Wroclaw is all set to host the second Al Wathba Stud Farm Cup race in Poland this year with eight horses in the fray in today's race.
According to a press release, it will be the first time that the oldest racecourse in Poland will be part of the Shaikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Flat Racing Festival.
The race is open to three-year-old Arabian horses and will be run over 2,000 metres.
A good run
Among the eight runners trainer Jan Pochwatka is strongly represented with three horses. Eklis has a good chance after winning his first race rather easily while Winder is capable of a good run for the trainer. Nizara may find it hard to match the colts but completes Pochwatka's trio.
Trainer Robert Swiatek's Zloty Ksiaze could be the one to beat after his strong winning run in his second career race. Swiatek also runs Peraton a horse that will be looking to improve on his fourth-place debut run.
Two other fillies in the race, Wenida and Euzera, come into this race with a win each but could find the opposition strong while Fedrus from Michal Borkowski's yard will also face a tough task.
The Shaikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Flat Racing Festival's Wathba Stud Farm Cup races are staged with support from Invest AD, Areej Al Ameerat, La Sirene, the UAE's General Women's Union, Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition 2011, Wathba Stud Farm and Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club.
