Posuelo Py clinches Al Kharrara Cup as Boudot shines

Doha, Qatar: Pierre Charles Boudot continued his outstanding run this season guiding Posuelo Py to Al Kharrara Cup triumph in the Purebred Arabian Handicap (1200m) at Al Rayyan Racecourse yesterday.

Drawn widest, the eight-year-old bay gelding travelled midfield before powering down the home straight to score decisively by 1¼ lengths for owner Ibrahim Mohammed Al-Fadala and trainer Hamad Al-Jehani, giving Boudot a treble on the evening.

Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC) Racing Manager Abdulla Rashid Al Kubaisi presented the trophies to the feature winners.
