Securing support to reintroduce a Group race for three year olds in the UK Genny Haynes ARO Chief Executive Officer spoke enthusiastically after the race which had been won by Eljas Du Bienn We were thrilled to bring Arabian Group racing back to Newbury through the generosity and support of the UAE President Cup Series This race for our top juveniles was originally run here over seven furlongs as part of Dubai International Arabian Races with many winners making the grade at the highest level We congratulate Hamed Khadim Butti Alhamid his family and all their connections for their win today with Eljas Du Bienn who we hope will go on to further success

The race was increased to a mile and received a significant boost to its prize fund which was now 150 000 making it the most valuable race exclusively for three year olds in Europe Both the organising committee and the winning owner paid tribute to the race s past history with Faisal Al Rahmani General Secretary of the Higher Organizing Committee for the UAE President s Cup Series commenting We re very happy to be back at Newbury the motherland of Arabian racing in the UK thanks to the late Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum We thank Genny Haynes and everyone at ARO for their support today

Winning owner Hamed Khadim Butti Alhamid was clearly delighted to be part of this historic connection the horses race in his colours but it is very much a family concern with his son Khalifa explaining more fully We re very proud to be present in today s race The President s Cup is a very important race for us and Sheikh Mansoor bin Zayed Al Nahyan s continued support for Arabians and for this series really made it possible for us to be here today It s a very proud moment for us it was just a win to be here but to win the race as well that was the cherry on top

We have seven horses in training four with Elizabeth Bernard trainer of Eljas Du Bienn the rest with Xavier Thomes Demeulte trainer of the second At the beginning of the season we had the least expectations for Eljas Du Bienn we saw him in training and though he was a very lovely horse we didn t expect this but he has surprised us He won first time out and then he has come up against a very good champion in Alkrar and was second and then third to him but he has come good again today for us
