Stakes Quotes: UAE 1000 Guineas (Listed) & Dubai Dash (Listed)
- January 23, 2020
UAE 1000 GUINEAS (LISTED)
$250,000 | 1600m (dirt) | 3YO Fillies
Winner: DUBAI LOVE
Pedigree: Night of Thunder – Devotion (Dylan Thomas)
Owner: Godolphin
Trainer: Saeed bin Suroor
Jockey: Pat Cosgrave
Official Time: 1:37.98
Track Record – 1:34.99 – Muntazah, 2019
Margin of Victory: 3¼ Lengths
Pat Cosgrave, Jockey, DUBAI LOVE (1st)—“I knew this filly would stay. She has a mile and a quarter written all over her and I think she’s come on from her first run here. I was quietly confident and she ran a massive race. She beat (Final Song) and I was impressed with the way she ran in the straight. I said to Saeed that after her last run, she will be a staying filly for the Oaks.”
Mickael Barzalona, Jockey, DOWN ON DA BAYOU (2nd)—“She ran a good race. We are happy with the way she ran, again, today. She beat Final Song, who beat us last time. We are happy and it looks like the filly is improving.”
Christophe Soumillon, Jockey, FINAL SONG (3rd)—“The way she was riding today, she wouldn’t stay. She’s a proper seven-furlong filly and when you quiet, I’m sure she can handle this kind of distance, but when she was so close to the pace, she wasn’t relaxed. The last 200m you could feel she needed more oxygen. It’s not a bad run, but the way she was riding today, it wasn’t the best way to make her stay the distance.”
DUBAI DASH (LISTED)
$175,000 | 1000m (turf)
Winner: EQUILATERAL
Pedigree: Equiano – Tarentaise (Oasis Dream)
Owner: Juddmonte Farms
Trainer: Charlie Hills
Jockey: James Doyle
Official Time: :56.60
Track Record: :55.90 – Ertijaal, 2017
Margin of Victory: 2 Lengths
James Doyle, Jockey, EQUILATERAL (1st)—“I sat on him earlier this week and he’s pretty full of himself. He gave me a really nice feel. He couldn’t have felt better and we were pretty excited tonight. He was fresh and well in the race. We were going a good gallop and he was eager to get on with it. It was a just a case of hanging onto him as long as I could. I spoke to Ryan Moore, who has a good record with the horse, and he said the key is to just try and time it right and get there as late as you can. It wouldn’t have mattered today. He’s won very well.”
Charlie Hills, Trainer, EQUILATERAL (1st)—“We have tried to win in Dubai for a while, so it was good to get that monkey off your back. It’s important because this country has been such a great supporter of ours through the years. There’s a Group 2 (Meydan Sprint) in a few weeks time with him. If we can win that, then we’ll definitely try him at the (Group 1 $2 million Al Quoz Sprint) over six furlongs.”
Note: First win in Dubai and DWC Carnival for Charlie Hills and earliest the famed Juddmonte Farms has competed and won in Dubai.
