Despite a rather damp day of racing, there were some great races to be had. Al Ghadeer was in a different league to Qatar International Stakes rivals, Magical Sunset was revitalised on her favoured ground as she kicked in the turbos to bag the G3 Whispering Angel Oak Tree Stakes and Paddington continued his faultless season with another dominant display in the G1 Qatar Sussex Stakes.

Our warmest congratulations and a huge well done to all of the 2023 Markel Magnolia Cup riders.
