Kendah Al Shahania (Mister Ginoux x R B Kindle) captured the eighth race on the card, the feature Loyalty Cup, a 1600m Graduation Plate for 4yo Local Purebred Arabians, Class 4, contested by 10 runners. Carrying the colours of HE Sheikha Iman bint Mohammed bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the bay filly built on her runner-up debut to open her account in decisive fashion, settling towards the rear before unleashing a sharp burst in the straight to seize control and score by 1¾ lengths. Trained by Rudy Nerbonne and ridden by Marco Casamento, she provided her trainer with a double on the day. Early pace was set by the front-running group while Kendah Al Shahania was content to bide her time in behind, travelling comfortably as the field began to string out approaching the home turn. Turning in, Qiltan (TM Fred Texas) had already moved into a prominent position and struck the front, but once the eventual winner was angled into the clear she quickened decisively, reeling him in with authority and drawing away inside the final stages. Qiltan, representing Wathnan Racing and prepared by Alban de Mieulle, stayed on under Soufiane Saadi to secure second, finishing a full 7 lengths clear of Asfaan Al Shahania (Assy), who ran on late under Lukas Delozier for HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani and trainer Rudy Nerbonne. The sizeable margin between the pair underlined how the winner and runner-up had pulled well clear of the remainder in the straight, effectively settling the race between themselves before the line.
