ALHAARTH BAHRI ELNADIM INTIKHAB HAATEF MARJU TAMAYUZ

LISTED double

for INTIKHAB

It was a double delight when the INTIKHAB sired pair WITHOUT A PRAYER and LES FAZZANI took both Listed events on the same card at Kempton respectively. WITHOUT A PRAYER took the Listed Hyde Stakes by a comfortable three lengths. They set a blistering pace in this mile event, he was always travelling best of all and lay in sixth position coming round the home turn. Carrying top weight in this contest, he came with a devastating burst of speed up the centre of the track to take the honours and win his third Listed event to date which was just outside the mile course record.

LES FAZZANI took the following race on the card, the Listed Wild Flower Stakes to complete the Listed double for INTIKHAB. LES FAZZANI made all in the 1 mile 4 furlong contest under . She led from start to finish and when asked to quicken over 2 furlongs out, stayed on strongly and was never in any danger of being caught. This is also her third Listed win to date.
