Top Dubai trainer takes over stables
NEWMARKET is set to welcome another new trainer to its ranks later this year.
Dubaian Ismail Mohammed will join the ever-growing list of trainers in the town after agreeing to rent Revida Place, in Hamilton Road.
The 40-box yard has been vacant since December after former tenant David Lanigan, who had been based at the yard since 2007, decided to up sticks and move to Kingsdown Stables in Lambourn.
Mohammed, who currently trains in Dubai, will become the third Dubaian trainer to be based in the town, following in the footsteps of Saeed Bin Suroor and Mahmood Al Zarooni, both of whom train for Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin operation.
In 2007 Mohammed topped the trainer standings of that year’s Dubai carnival after sending out 16 winners.
Among his big race successes were Folk’s victories in both the UAE 1,000 Guineas and Oaks, achieved in the colours of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, along with Eu Tambem’s win in round three of the Maktoum Challenge.
Last year the recently renovated stables saw Group race glory head back its way thanks to the exploits of five-year-old mare Meeznah. Tasting victory in the Group Three Lillie Langtry Stakes at Glorious Goodwood in July, the daughter of Dynaformer added to her success at the Sussex track by landing the Group Two DFS Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster in September.
