Big surprise in Kabaret Stakes, no surprise in Bandos Stakes

Last weekend another two stakes were ran at Służewiec Racetrack: Kabaret Stakes for 4-year-olds and Bandos Stakes for 4+-year-olds. The first one brought rather unexpected results with a win of Wielki Dakris. In the latter one Shadwan Al Khalediah added yet another win to his impressive record of 11:10-1-0. 

In the numerous field of 12 of Kabaret Stakes (2200 m) three foreign-bred horses had the lowest odd, that is: Moscow Derby winner SEIFUL MULIUK (RU), the best 3-year-old of 2019 TABARAK'S ELVIRA (AT) and consistent GATSBY DE BOZOULS (FR). Unexpectedly bookmakers' favorites were surpassed by Polish-bred WIELKI DAKRIS (Mared Al Sahra - Wielka Damira/Ontario HF), who, ridden by champion jockey Szczepan Mazur, won by a 1/2 lenghts to Seiful Muliuk. The grey colt is bred and owned by Mr. Krzysztof Zakolski, and trained by Adam Wyrzyk. This success made him one of the great pretenders to this year's Derby.

Sunday's Bandos Stakes (2200 m) went completely according to bookmakers' odds. SHADWAN AL KHALEDIAH (Nashwan Al Khalidiah - Quesche du Paon/Akbar), again with Szczepanem Mazur in the saddle won very easily, leaving in the field last year's Derby winner DRAGON, stablemate ANOOD AL KHALEDIAH and Janów's BANDOLERO. AKF Poland's 8 years old stallion is trained by Maciej Kacprzyk.
