Dubai: It was another memorable night for Godolphin trainer Saeed Bin Surour as he saddled three winners for a second successive time in the Dubai Intertnational Racing Carnival meeting sponsored by Al Tayer Motors.
Local debutant Khawlah, ridden by jockey Frankie Dettori, bagged the Group Three UAE Oaks on the All-Weather for Bin Surour's third win on the night.
The smiles had come earlier for Bin Surour as Dettori landed the 2200m Jaguar XK Trophy on comfortable winner Bay Willow.
The Italian was then on the wrong horse, Global City, as stable companion Charlie's Moment, ridden by French jockey Mickael Barzalona, took home the spoils in the Range Rover Sport Trophy.
Three behind
The three winners on the night took Bin Surour's Carnival tally to 12, just three behind Mike De Kock who had won the opening Jaguar XF Trophy with Wonder Lawn.
Godolphin's second trainer Mahmoud Al Zarouni saddled his seventh winner of the Carnival when he sent out Introvert to win the Listed Meydan Classic with Ahmad Ajtebi.
The Alan Jarvis-trained Navajo Chief enjoyed a change of luck in the concluding Range Rover Trophy on his fourth 2011 Carnival start.
Champion Trainer Ali Rashid Al Raihe, who had enjoyed a treble during the previous meet, was back in the winner's enclosure after Mufarrh won the Jaguary XJ Trophy under Richard Hills.
