Awtaad's Al Qareem records wide margin success in the Listed Sky Bet Grand Cup
The Nick Bradley Racing owned gelding delivers yet again
Awtaad's top-class son Al Qareem notched his seventh Stakes victory and the second of his six-year-old campaign when taking York's Sky Bet Race To The Ebor Grand Cup, over 1m6f, by over four-lengths on Saturday.
Trainer Karl Burke, after describing the gelding as 'so honest and brave and very sound', suggested that he would now likely be rated too highly to compete in the Ebor this year. However, he put forward both the Gr.2 Curragh Cup and Gr.1 Irish St Leger as potential targets.
Al Qareem was bred by Shadwell out of Moqla, a half-sister to Earl of Sefton Stakes winner Mahsoob descended from His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's champion two-year-old filly and 1,000 Guineas heroine Shadayid.
Awtaad, a 2,000 Guineas winner by Cape Cross, has supplied 17 black-type performers, headed by Group/Grade 1 winners Anmaat and Anisette. Widely acknowledged to be one of the best value sires in the business, he stands at Derrinstown Stud at a fee of €7,500.
