The winning owner is Sheikh Fahad al Thani. He is only just turned 23 years and had become fascinated by racing when studying at a business college in London. He preferred thoroughbreds to the pure-bred Arabian breed owned by other members of his family in Qatar.
Asked why he had become so fascinated by horses and racing, Sheikh Fahad replied: “It’s in our blood.”
Trained by Mikel Delzangles and ridden by Christophe Lemaire, Dunaden is likely to be aimed at the same race again next year. Last year's winner was Americain who finished at fourth.
