In winning Sunday's National Day Cup, Forjatt became the second horse to win both that race and the Jebel Ali Mile which he won in 2014.

Cornish Snow is the only horse to have won both in the same season (1999/2000).

Of course, Forjatt could emulate that feat next month!

Congratulations to Sheikh Ahmed and Dhruba Selvaratnam, both celebrating their fifth National Day Cup winner with Sunday's success of Forjatt. In doing so, they become the most successful owner and trainer in the race's 23 year history.
