AL SHEMALI IS TATTERSALLS HORSE OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH
The Tattersalls Horse of the Month for March is the Ali Rashid Al Raihe trained AL SHEMALI who raced away from a top class field to win the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free on Dubai World Cup night.
The six-year-old son of MEDICEAN, out of the GENEROUS mare BATHILDE, ran out a length and a half winner over BANKABLE with Royston Ffrench aboard against a field that included five previous Group 1 winners.
Bred at Willie and Elaine Carson’s Minster Stud, AL SHEMALI was consigned to Book 1 of the 2005 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale where he was knocked down to bloodstock agent Charlie Gordon-Watson for 110,000 guineas.
The runner-up BANKABLE was also a graduate of Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and like AL SHEMALI, is by Cheveley Park Stud’s resident stallion MEDICEAN and was also bought by Gordon-Watson for 160,000 guineas.
BATHILDE is also the dam of the Group 2 Henry II Stakes winner TUNGSTEN STRIKE and Brian Meehan’s promising four-year-old OASIS DREAM filly ARABIAN MIRAGE, but has failed to get in foal during the past three years.
