Nah'ash Al Shahania powers home for second career victory

February 22 , 2025

Al Shahania Stud’s homebred Nah'ash Al Shahania (AF Al Buraq x Insheragh), came into the third race in the card having had form figures of 3-1-2 in his last three starts and continued his solid form to secure his second career win in the Purebred Arabian Novice Plate for 4YO+ over 1400m. Trained by Rudy Nerbonne and ridden by Lukas Delozier, the 5YO gelding delivered a commanding performance, surging past his rivals in the home straight to win by three lengths. In a six-runner contest, Marnan (Majd Al Arab) set the early pace, followed by Belgaro (AF AlBahar) while Lavinia De Carrere (Nieshan) and Tulaitila (Al Mourtajez) raced behind. The order remained unchanged until the home straight where Belgaro made a strong challenge. However, Nah'ash Al Shahania, who had patiently bided his time at the rear, unleashed an impressive turn of foot, sweeping past the field to claim victory. Tulaitila finished second while Belgaro was a further three and a half lengths behind in third.
