Racing at Meydan - 05 December 2019. ➊ MILITARY LAW (GB) ➋ SALTARIN DUBAI (ARG) ➌ GRONKOWSKI (USA) DESCRIPTION: • Race: THE ENTISAR (LISTED) • Prize: AED265,000 (approx. $72,000) • Winner: MILITARY LAW • Pedigree: Dubawi – Marine Bleue (Desert Prince) • Owner: Nasir Askar • Trainer: Musabbeh Al Mheiri • Jockey: Antonio Fresu • Official Time: 2:07.14 (2000m; Track Record: 2:01.38 – Thunder Snow, 2018) • Margin of Victory: 3 Lengths LONG DESCRIPTION (RELEASE): Antonio Fresu, Jockey, MILITARY LAW (1st)—“He is a nice horse and I have been riding him almost every day in the mornings. He moved really well on the dirt. What I expected today was to finish in the first three because we gave him a first run two weeks ago and it was over a mile and that was maybe just to get him ready for this race. It was a bit too sharp for him and he missed the break that day. Today, the horse jumped well and I got in a really good position behind Saltarin Dubai—followed him and tracked him. When Gronkowski came past me, I just moved on his back and my horse was still going really well, so he tried his best in the last stretch (of the race). The horse came on a lot from his run and he was much better today. He needed a first run on the dirt and can still improve a bit. This is his first season running in the UAE and his first season running on the dirt and I think he will be a nice horse for the (Dubai World Cup) Carnival. Gronkowski and New Trails are good horses and even last season they didn’t run really well first time out because they are massive horses. Let us just say I was lucky tonight and we will see how it goes next time.” Mussabeh Al Mheiri, Trainer, MILITARY LAW (1st)— “He ran very good and I expected a big run. He showed me a good sign after his last race when he was coming from behind, so this time I gave him more distance and he would be better—and he was. He’s a good horse.” Richard Mullen, Jockey, SALTARIN DUBAI (2nd)—“I had a super run. I had an outside gate, but it wasn’t too bad, to be honest with you. He’s a horse who likes to go forward. I was slightly concerned if I’d be able to get there, but I was able to get there easily enough. (Talento Puma) pressured me a little, but it didn’t make much of a difference. (Saltarin Dubai) ran super. I knew turning in that I had the better of Gronkowski, as he looked big and probably needed the run. My lad always runs well first up and was fit. I knew I had him beaten, but then (Military Law) flashed down the outside and it was impressive. You have to take your hats off to the winner in his second start here. (Saltarin Dubai) did nothing wrong and will do well in those Carnival races.” Royston Ffrench, Jockey, GRONKOWSKI (3rd)—“I’m very pleased with him. He had a nice smooth passage and obviously it’s his first run of the season. He will improve a great deal for it.” SHORT DESCRIPTION: MILITARY LAW (Antonio Fresu) lays down the law with an upset victory in The Entisar sponsored by DP World (Listed), defeating
