Caid Du Soleil (Al Mourtajez x Theeba) returned to his best to land the eighth and final race, the Al Judhay Cup, a Purebred Arabian Premium Maiden Plate for 4–7yos over 2200m, Class 6, contested by 12 runners. The five-year-old grey, racing for Al Shahania Stud and trained by Rudy Nerbonne, put a series of recent efforts behind him to get off the mark at the seventh attempt and on his third start in Qatar, prevailing by a neck under Lukas Delozier, who completed a quick-fire double and a treble on the day. Settling into a comfortable rhythm early, Caid Du Soleil raced in fifth through the early and middle stages, tracking a leading group headed by Al Natibis Up (Al Mamun Monlau), who set the tempo ahead of Munahis (AF AlBahar), Bin Narain (Al Mourtajez) and Der’h Al Shahania (Gazwan). The order remained largely unchanged as the field made its way toward the home turn, with Al Natibis Up appearing firmly in control. Once straightened, the complexion of the race shifted. Munahis began to apply strong pressure to the leader, ranging up with intent while Caid Du Soleil was produced with a perfectly timed challenge, unleashing a telling late surge from just off the pace. In the final stages, he swept to the front as Munahis continued to battle relentlessly alongside, refusing to yield. The pair fought out a gripping finish, with Caid Du Soleil showing resolve to hold on gamely and secure a narrow victory. Munahis, owned by Sheikh Ahmad bin Mohamed bin Faleh Al Thani and trained by Hadi Al Ramzani, finished a close second under Jefferson Smith, beaten only a neck but a length and a half clear of the remainder. Lattam (No Risk Al Maury), representing Abdulrahman Fahad Al-Attiyah and trained by Hamad Al-Jehani, produced the fastest closing sectional under Pierre Charles Boudot to take third, completing the frame in a strongly run renewal of the Al Judhay Cup.
