Mawj, the Forgotten Horse
Mawj, the winner of the 1000 Guineas, is making her long-awaited return on Saturday night. Since her victory over the talented Tahiyra, Mawj has faded from the spotlight. However, her comeback is not the only reason she's making headlines.
Trainer Saeed bin Suroor Nearing a Milestone
Mawj's trainer, Saeed bin Suroor, is on the verge of reaching his 500th Group/Graded race win. While he may achieve this milestone at HQ on Saturday afternoon, he also has another chance with his star filly.
A Big Decision for Jockey Oisin Murphy
Jockey Oisin Murphy has made the bold decision to stick with Mawj, even though it means giving up other promising horses, such as Array. Murphy's faith in Mawj is evident as he believes she has what it takes to compete at the Breeders' Cup World Championships.
Mawj's Return and Future Plans
Mawj has been absent from the racing scene since her Guineas victory. However, trainer Saeed bin Suroor assures that she is in good form and ready to make her mark once again. If she performs well on Saturday, a trip to Santa Anita for the Breeders' Cup is likely.
The Dewhurst: A Race to Watch
The Dewhurst, set to air on ITV, features the highly impressive City of Troy. This young horse has already garnered attention and is considered a wonder horse in the making. However, he will face tough competition from Champagne winner Iberian and Group 3 scorer Rosallion.
The Cesarewitch: A Betting Spectacle
The Cesarewitch, known for its extreme distance of two miles and two furlongs, attracts runners trained by jumps experts. Gordon Elliott, Emmet Mullins, and Noel Meade all have leading contenders in this exciting race. One horse to watch is Vino Victrix, who hopes to improve on last year's second-place finish.
With Mawj's comeback, the Dewhurst showdown, and the Cesarewitch betting frenzy, Saturday promises to be an action-packed day in the world of horse racing.
