Top-class sprinter TUZ (Oxbow), who hails from the same family as Klawervlei Stud’s exciting young sire KOMMETDIEDING (Elusive Fort), showed his class when romping home to win Friday’s G3 Dubawi Stakes Sponsored By Binghatti Developers at Meydan on Friday.
The eight-year-old, also victorious in last year’s G3 Dubawi Stakes, gave notice that he is ready to defend his G1 Golden Shaheen title when running out a facile winner of Friday’s six furlong contest.
Tuz turned the G3 feature into a one horse race, as he drew off to score by four and three quarter lengths.
It was his second win of the Dubai season and showed promise that the Bhupat Seemar trainee could become the third horse to snare back-to-back victories in the Golden Shaheen.
“He’s a special horse, probably one of the fastest horses in the world right now,” said victorious rider Tadhg O’Shea, who logged his 800th victory in the United Arab Emirates.
Tuz won the 2024 Golden Shaheen by six and a half lengths.
The Dubai star is directly descended in female line from the wonderful blue hen QUEEN OF LIGHT (Borealis), also ancestress of Kommetdieding among many others.
A top-class racehorse, Kommetdieding won his first four races including the G3 Politician Stakes. The charismatic colt would go on to win both the 2021 G1 Vodacom Durban July and 2022 G1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met.
