Racing at Meydan – 21 November 2019.
➊ GALAXY ROAD (USA)
➋ UNDERWRITER (USA)
➌ CELTIC PRINCE (GB)
Trained by Mussabeh Al Mheiri and owned by Galaxy Racing, GALAXY ROAD takes the overland route to victory in facile style under ANTONIO Fresu in the Longines Conquest Classic maiden.
It looked most unlikely at hallway when Galaxy Road was last in the 1200m maiden, the Longines Conquest Classic, but he flew home in the final 300m to snatch victory from Underwriter. In the end, Galaxy Road and Antonio Fresu eased up at the wire, appearing much the best for trainer Musabbeh Al Mheiri and Galaxy Racing. The 3-year-old Elusive Quality colt was having just his fifth career start and third this season.
Fresu said: “We missed the break, but I was happy to be patient and take my time because they were going very fast in front and he picked up in the straight when those in front were tiring.”
