Down On Da Bayou completes back-to-back victories at Jebel Ali

Down On Da Bayou, the 2020 UAE 1000 Guineas runner up and the only filly in the race, proved far too good for her five rivals and won a conditions prize at Jebel Ali on Saturday.

Drawn in stall one, the five-year-old daughter of Super Saver romped home by five-and-a-half lengths to give the trainer-jockey partnership of Salem bin Ghadayer and Royston Ffrench the first of their two prizes at the meeting.

“She has come back to form this season which is great to see,” Ffrench said. “I think the 1,600-metre is her best trip and the Jebel Ali Mile would suit but that is up to the trainer and owner [Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed].”

Bin Ghadayer and Ffrench were celebrating a double half hour later by landing the concluding handicap with Lahmoom for owners Alqemmah Racing Team.

Andrea Atzeni, riding for his main employer Sheikh Mohammed Obaid, delivered the Doug Watson-trained Lost Eden with a late run to take the Rated Conditions prize over the 1,950m trip.
