Bhupat's Discovery Goes Big In The Burj Nahaar

With Prince Eiji withdrawn prior to the race at owners request while Down On Da Bayou withdrawn at the request of trainer Salem bin Ghadayer, Bhupat Seemar trained Royal Mews became the new favourite.

The Gr.3 Burj Nahaar was run over 1600m. The third race on the Super Saturday under card was worth USD $250,000 and saw a field of 16 run the trip.

On the Warpath was led out from the gates to hit the lead and break away by two lengths under Bernardo Pinheiro. Hitting the halfway mark the Mussabbeh Al Mheiri trained gelding looking handy at the front before the turn when Royal Mews ambled up under William Buick to take the lead accompanied by Everfast. With 200m left to run it was the Bhupat Seemar stablemate Discovery Island that came through to break hearts from a great ride by James Doyle for the Mohammed Khaleel Ahmed ownership.
