The Satish Seemar-trained nine-year-old recorded a one-length victory over Doug Watson’s Jutland under Sam Hitchcott with Seemar’s Layali Al Andalus running on for third a short head further back.
Skygazer, trained by Ali Rashid Al Raihe was declared a non-runner after unseating his jockey, Tadhg O’Shea in the gates and completing the 2218m distance riderless.
“It’s about time,” said Bhupat Seemar, assistant trainer to Satish. “We’ve been coming here for the last two years but this is our first winner. Start Right is always very consistent and he was third in this last year.
“The loose horse actually helped him because he goes to the front and stops. Layali Al Andulas ran a good race too, finishing third so it’s been a great trip.”
The race card featured five races worth a total of RMB3.75m ($604,536).
