Deauville, France
RAFAADAH, the first foal out of JOANNA, won her first time out today in the 3rd race at Deauville, by 2 1/2 lengths! JOANNA was the Champion Italian 2yo Filly (2009) and the Champion French 3yo Filly (2010) and was sold by Eugenio Colombo to Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
The race summary, as quoted from the 08.01.14 edition of the throughbreddailynews.com:
“…broke well from the inside gate and occupied a prominent pitch along the fence from the outset of this debut. In the firing line throughout, the 16-5 second favorite gained an outright advantage with 300 meters remaaining and was pushed out from there to comfortably best Rose et Or (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) by 2 1/2 lengths. Lifetime record: 1 start, 1 win.”
