Ghazan Du Soleil wins Qatar Prix Denouste on debut

Mdmar – France – JDG

Ghazan Du Soleil (Gazwan), a three-year-old colt, made a smart debut in the Qatar Racing & Equestrian Club-sponsored Qatar Prix Denouste at Tarbes on Saturday, April 19th. The 1500m race featured a field of 10 three-year-old Purebred Arabian colts and Ghazan Du Soleil, unraced prior to this outing, displayed great potential in his first appearance.

Trained by Mrs Jean-François Bernard and owned by Mustafa Ahmed Teeka, Ghazan Du Soleil was expertly ridden by Jean-Bernard Eyquem.

The colt made all from the start and travelled alongside the favourite, Mahrouse (Mahabb). Showing great determination, Ghazan Du Soleil withstood all challenges in the final stretch, holding off his rivals to win by a length. Marzoog (AF Albahar), owned by Mohammed Abdulhadi S S Al-Hajri, trained by X. Thomas-Demeaulte and ridden by Hugo Mouesan, finished second while Mansoor De Faust (Mister Ginoux), owned by Ahmed Feghouli, trained by Eric Dell’Ova and partnered by Ioritz Mendizabal, was only a further nose behind in third.

The result was a highly encouraging start to his career and connections are optimistic about his prospects as a Purebred Arabian colt. The Qatar Prix Denouste served as a solid foundation for Ghazan Du Soleil, with expectations that he will improve with further race experience.

Bred by Lisa Deymonaz, Ghazan Du Soleil is out of Sheenah (Munjiz), who is a daughter of Syrianah (Dormane), a winner of three races over 1400m at three.
