DOHA: Al Ghazali Stud’s Mared Al Jasra under the ride of Marco Casamento registered a comfortable feature win to land the Muaither Cup at Al Rayyan Racecourse yesterday. The four-year-old colt, trained by Jassim Ghazali, prevailed over Saqr by four and a half length to clinch the 1700m Purebred Arabian Handicap during Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club’s (QREC) 14th Al Rayyan Race Meeting, which featured eight races.
