MAJOR PARTNERSHIPThe Meydan Challenge was won in impressive style by 2019 DWC Carnival winner Major Partnership, carrying the Godolphin blue with jockey Pat Cosgrave for Saeed bin Suroor. Riding the rail through the lane after patiently waiting for room, the grey Irish-bred son of Iffraaj pushed clear to win by 1½ lengths over Zainhom, with G1 winner Suedois running admirably in third under top weight.
“I think he’s a better horse this year,” Cosgrave said. “He looks better, feels better and moves better. I had a lovely run down the fence and it worked out nicely.”
Bin Suroor added: “That was a great ride from Pat and we are obviously very happy. This horse has plenty of speed, so we thought this 1400m was ideal and so it worked out.”
