TM Fred Texas eases to Losail Cup victory at REC

It was the talented TM Fred Texas' show at the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (REC) as he captured the Losail Cup during the 37th race meeting on March 14, Wednesday.

The Mohammed Hamad Al Attiya trained TM Fred Texas (Burning Sand-Queen Kong) swept past the opposition in style to come home by a comfortable five-length success. TM Fred Texas is the prized possession of Sheikh Hamad Bin Joaan Bin Hamad Al Thani.

Losail Cup was a 1,200-metre Pure Arabian Stakes contest and jockey Marvin Suerland took TM Fred Texas to victory which was also the rider's third win of the day.

TM Fred Texas had to miss out on Qatar Interantional Trophy race as he had suffered a setback while being flown into Doha from Houston. However, TM Fred Texas showed his class to win on Wednesday.

TM Fred Texas won "Horse Of The Year" honour recently and he might now run in the Kahalya Classic in Dubai later this month.

TM Fred Texas was returning to the race track after five months and he was quite comfortable in bouncing back to top form in the very first outing. He left the rest of the pack far behind as he approached the final furlong and won with ease.

Assistant trainer Hector said it was his dream to come to Qatar and win a race. "This was my dream to come to Qatar and win a race. I am really proud to train the winner for Sheikh Joaan. This was an amazing win for TM Fred Texas as he was running for the first time after five months and we are immensely pleased that he is back in form. He is likely to go to Dubai for the Kahalya Classic if invited to be a part of the classic on March 31," Hector said.

Suerland was ecstatic with his treble and overjoyed riding a top class horse like TM Fred Texas. He said he was lucky to ride the winner today. "I was very lucky to get this ride and I am very proud to ride in the colours of Sheikh Joaan in Qatar. He is a very good horse but I was worried about the 1,200 metres trip. In the end Fred Texas was up to the task on hand and won very well. Hope he gets the opportunity to take part in the race in Dubai," the rider opined.

Suerland started off the day by riding Trompettiste to victory and later won one more race with Jalmoud Al Jazeera in the fifth race of the evening and capped off a memorable day with TM Fred Texas.
 
Was für ein Tag für Marvin Suerland! Hattrick in Katar

Lange hat es am Mittwoch nicht gedauert bis es in Katar ein aus deutscher Sicht erfreuliches Ergebnis gab. Marvin Suerland siegte bereits im ersten Rennen des Tages, der Thoroughbred Maiden Plate (40.000 QR) über 1200 Meter. Mit seinem Partner Trompettiste gewann der Kölner Jockey vor Mallak, der Indian Narjes auf Platz drei verwies.

Und es sollte Suerlands Tag werden. Der Kölner sicherte sich in der fünften Tagesprüfung mit Jalmoud Al Jazeera seinen zweiten Treffer des Nachmittags. Adrie de Vries wurde hier mit Jouraas Al Naif Dritter.

Auch das letzte Rennen entschied Suerland dann für sich. TM Fred Texas sicherte ihm seinen Sieg Nummer 19 im Wüstenstaat. Damit zog er mit dem Niederländer de Vries nach Siegen wieder gleich. Der Schlenderhan-Jockey kam im letzten Rennen mit Gayth auf Rang zwei ins Ziel. Aufgrund der besseren Platzierungen hat sich Marvin Suerland nun wieder vor Adrie de Vries in der Gesamtwertung setzten können und befindet sich aktuell auf dem dritten Platz der Jockey-Statistik.
