Farida P winning the UAE President's Cup

In a breathtaking display of speed and endurance, the magnificent Arabian mare Farida P claimed a stunning victory at the prestigious UAE President's Cup for Purebred Arabian Horses, held at Gardet Turf Racecourse in Stockholm on June 6th. The event, perfectly timed with Sweden's vibrant National Day festivities, drew an enthusiastic crowd exceeding 50,000 spectators who witnessed equestrian excellence at its finest.

The race unfolded with heart-stopping drama as Farida P executed a masterful come-from-behind strategy. Demonstrating extraordinary acceleration in the final stretch, the champion mare overtook her rivals to seize victory in spectacular fashion. Wissam Al Khalediah, under the expert guidance of trainer Janusz Kozlowski and jockey Per-Anders Graberg, put up a valiant fight to secure second position. Meanwhile Gindor de Bozouls, piloted by skilled rider Mickael Forest, crossed the finish line to claim third place honors.

With an impressive winning time of just 1:38.08 minutes for the challenging course, Farida P not only added another glorious chapter to her racing legacy but also marked her thirteenth career victory. This triumph represents her second UAE President's Cup title following last year's decisive win in the Dutch edition of this prestigious competition.

The Stockholm event marked an important milestone as it represented the sixth stop on this year's international circuit for the landmark thirty-second edition of this world-class racing series. The continued success of these events across Europe underscores how profoundly this championship has evolved into one of global significance within elite equestrian sports.

The UAE President's Cup has firmly established itself as both a leader and innovator within international Arabian horse racing circles throughout Europe and America alike. Each thrilling competition further solidifies its reputation while simultaneously shaping exciting new directions for this storied sport - captivating audiences worldwide with displays of equine athleticism that redefine excellence.
