Nurlan Bizakov's Ramadan Bounces Back to Form in the Daniel Wildenstein
10/05/2024 09:51 AM
Nurlan Bizakov's G3 Prix de Fontainebleau and G3 Prix Daphnis victor Ramadan (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}–Raushan {Ire}, by Dalakhani {Ire}), who trailed all six rivals home in last month's G1 Prix du Moulin, bounced back to form in style with a determined win in Saturday's G2 Qatar Prix Daniel Wildenstein at ParisLongchamp.
The 68-5 chance was positioned within range of the leaders in fourth through halfway in this one-mile test. Making headway once into the home straight, he inched ahead of Alcantor (Fr) (New Bay {GB}) with 300 metres remaining and was ridden out to hold the late bid of Andromede (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) by an ultimately snug 3/4-of-a-length for a career high. 'TDN Rising Star' Alcantor kept on well once headed to finish the same margin adrift in third.
Pedigree Notes
Ramadan is the sixth of seven foals and one of two scorers out of a winning full-sister to G1 Pretty Polly Stakes heroine Chinese White (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}) and G3 Royal Whip Stakes third Highly Toxic (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}). The March-foaled homebred bay is kin to Listed Fleur de Lys Stakes victrix and G3 Hoppings Stakes runner-up Rasima (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) and the unraced 2-year-old filly Raouza (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}). His G3 Blandford Stakes-winning second dam Chiang Mai (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) is a half-sister to G1 Prix de Diane-winning matriarch Rafha (GB) (Kris {GB}).
