EMARAATY ANA (GB) (c, 2, Shamardal–Spirit of Dubai {Ire} {SW-Eng}, by Cape Cross {Ire}), sent off at 12-1, was marginally in front of the recent course-and-distance winner Blown By Wind (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) throughout the early stages. Mastering that rival once and for all inside the final furlong, the homebred asserted to win by 2 1/4 lengths. “He did it very nicely and showed professionalism–he couldn’t have done better,” jockey Tom Queally said. “It was a likeable performance and one he can build on, as he has a good pedigree and ticks a lot of the right boxes.” The useful dam, who won the mile-and-a-half Listed Princess Royal S., is all about middle distances as a half to the G3 Prix de Flore and G3 Prix Corrida scorer Trumbaka (Ire) (In the Wings {GB}). Also connected to the Italian champion and sire Antheus, she has a yearling filly by New Approach (Ire). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $6,598. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
