Medaglia d'Oro's Meshtri Surprises In The Al Maktoum Mile
12/20/2024 11:09 AM
Facing some stiff competition, the lightly raced MESHTRI (Medaglia d'Oro–Cloths Fall Off, by Daaher) prevailed in the G2 Al Maktoum in the colours of Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on Friday.
In charge once the gates flew, the Michael Costa trainee set the pace while pressed by Desert Wisdom (Dubawi {Ire}). Qareeb (Speightstown) emerged as the main threat leaving the bend, but he was never able to catch the fleet pacesetter, finishing three lengths behind. Talking horse Artorius (Arrogate), flying the Juddmonte flag, got going eventually, but settled for third, another 4 1/2 lengths behind. The final time was 1:36.21.
Lifetime Record: 5-3-1-0, AED1,027,200.
