Royal Champion (Shamardal) and Oisin Murphy thrashed a quality field in the G1 Neom Turf Cup, presented by Howden in Riyadh on Saturday. It was the first year the race had been elevated to Group 1. The win was especially poignant, as the winner's prominent owner/breeder Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum had died recently. Stalking in midfield under a relaxed Oisin Murphy, the eight-year-old employed a stunning turn of foot to take command in the stretch and obliterate the opposition. Group 1 hero Facteur Cheval (Ribchester) was a distant second approximately five lengths behind. Group winner and multiple Group 1-placed Survie (Churchill) was third. The final time for the 2100 metres on turf was 2:06.23. A strong winner of the G2 York Stakes, the Karl Burke trainee is a homebred and a half-brother to G2 Jockey Club Stakes hero Outbox (Frankel).

American runners had been in good form early on Saudi Cup Day, and Alex and JoAnn Lieblong's Reef Runner (The Big Beast) added another U.S. victory in the G2 1351 Turf Sprint. He narrowly defeated multiple Group 1 winner Lazzat (Territories), with Comanche Brave (Wootton Bassett) third. The final time for the distance over good/firm ground was 1:18.24. The eventual winner stalked Lazzat out wide, before making his move in the straight. He defeated that game rival narrowly and withstood the rally of Comanche Brave for the win. A winner of the GII Eddie D Stakes last year, the gelding ran fourth in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint in November. He ended 2025 with a tally in the Listed Janus Stakes in Florida. Reef Runner is one of three winners from four to race for the winning Paradise Bay (Blame). He is a full-brother to Big Paradise (The Big Beast), who won the Juvenile Sprint Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Her latest offspring is a filly by Omaha Beach and she was covered by Life Is Good last spring. Saturday, King Abdulaziz (Riyadh), Saudi Arabia 1351 TURF SPRINT (Presented by Quiddiya City)-G2, $2,000,000, King Abdulaziz, 2-14, 4yo/up, 1351mT, 1:18.24, gd. 1–REEF RUNNER, 125, g, 5, The Big Beast 1st Dam: Paradise Bay, by Blame 2nd Dam: Wild Forest, by Forest Wildcat 3rd Dam: Uforia, by Zilzal O/B-Alex & JoAnn Lieblong (FL); T-David Fawkes; J-Irad Ortiz, Jr.; $1,200,000.

IMAGINATION (h, 5, Into Mischief–Magical Feeling, by Empire Maker) was behind the eight ball after missing the break in Saturday's $2-million G2 Riyadh Dirt Sprint and found himself in a cloud of dust from near the back of the pack. Trainer Bob Baffert earlier in the week lamented the testing nature of the long stretch at King Abdulaziz Racecourse, having 'lost millions of dollars' in that final 100 meters, but that worked in his favor on this occasion, as he was up in the final yards. The Riyadh Dirt Sprint earns Imagination a 'Win and You're In' ticket to the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Keeneland later this fall. Favored at odds-on, Imagination raced well back as GIII Elite Power Stakes hero Just Beat The Odds (Munnings), Echo Point (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and American Stage (Into Mischief) fought out the early fractions with Muqtahem (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}), last year's runner-up, tracking from out wide. Switched off heels while racing on his wrong lead approaching mid-stretch, Imagination continued to plug away gamely and surged past Just Beat The Odds for the victory despite never changing his legs. Muqtahem was a gallant third ahead of American Stage, with California's Lovesick Blues (Grazen) coming home belatedly for fifth. Sales history: $1,050,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP.

AL HARAM (IRE) (c, 3, Iffraaj {GB}–Liberamente {Ire}, by Tagula {Ire}) got the home team on the board in the first of the six group-level contests on the Saudi Cup program, launching a rally from far back with 400 metres to travel and racing over the top of 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Obliteration (Violence) and Japan's favoured Satono Voyage (Jpn) (Into Mischief) to become the second locally trained winner of the $1.5-million G3 Saudi Derby. He picks up 30 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby in the process, though he was not an original entry at the January closing. He can be supplemented for $6,000 in early April. Drawn gate two with leading local rider Ricardo Ferreira at the controls, Al Haram was taken hold of right out of the gate as the speedy Obliteration made the running from Satono Voyage in the two path, with the latter's Japanese compatriot Keiai Agito (Jpn) (Espoir City {Jpn}) also prominently positioned. Beginning to find his best stride entering the final 600 metres, Al Haram began weaving his way through traffic, spilt a pair of the Japanese horses approaching the furlong grounds and savaged the line to post a comfortable victory. Obliteration held off Satono Voyage for second money. Sales history: £150,000 Ylg '24 GOFPRE. Lifetime Record: 4-4-0-0.
