UAE REVIEW



Sharjah

Friday January 5th 2001

Paddy Rudkin reminded everyone that he was still in the race for the Trainer's Championship with a winning double at Sharjah on Friday, included in those two winners being the very impressive debut performance of Dhahik in the Maiden.


Current leader and defending champion Satish Seemar came up winless at Nad Al Sheba and Sharjah and with Kiaran McLaughlin preparing Rasin to win last Thursday night and with Rudkin's double, the lead has been cut to four.


Rudkin joined McLaughlin in second position with his winning double on Friday coming via Dhahik and Khalas, the first ridden by Michael Hills and the latter ridden by twin brother Richard.


Dhahik was most impressive in securing his maiden, sitting on the speed throughout the event and then racing away to win by nine lengths, a margin which could have been far greater had Michael Hills not eased him down in the final 100m.


Khalas was also an easy winner, taking charge at the 500m and then drawing right away to win by over six lengths from Bold Winwood and Musalsal.


Richard Hills took the riding honours with a winning double, the victory on Khalas followed by Not Joking in the final event. Others to ride winners at the meeting Wayne Smith, Willie Ryan and Neil Kennedy, who rode his first winner of the season when winning on the Purebred Arabian Aneed.
