Al Wukair
T
HIS is an important year for Al Shaqab Racing and Haras de Bouquetot – on the track there is the first crop of champion twoyear-old Shalaa, while in the sales ring the first crops of Al Wukair, Brametot, Ectot and Zelzal are coming under the hammer at Europe’s yearling sales with the first foals by Mekhtaal to follow in the winter. A good-looking son of multiple Group 1 winner Dream Ahead, Al Wukair brought a winning bid of 200,000gns from Nicolas de Watrigant’s Mandore International for Al Shaqab Racing. Two runs as a two-year-old produced two wins for Al Wukair, including the Listed Prix Isonomy over a mile at Deauville.
He began his three-year-old season defeating the Group 1 winner National Defense in the Group 3 Prix Djebel over 7f, and then was only a length and neck behind Churchill and Barney Roy in the 2,000 Guineas. A second place in the Prix Messidor followed before his breakthrough success at Group 1 level came in the Prix Jacques le Marois. Al Wukair raced just once more in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes before retiring to Haras de Boquetot for the 2018 breeding season. Sire Dream Ahead’s stallion career has blossomed recently and in 2017 moved to stand at Haras de Grandcamp, the year Al Wukair.
