Horse Racing - Deauville Barrière Meeting - Al Rayyan Cup Kesberoy Prize & Doha Cup Manganate Prize

These two Group 1 races showcase Arabian thoroughbreds. One is for 3-year-old horses (Al Rayyan Cup Prix Kesberoy) and the second for horses 4 years and over (Doha Cup Prix Manganate), which are already confirmed horses. The two prizes are contested over a distance of 2 meters, with an allocation of € 000 each. The Arabian Thoroughbreds are the origin of the popular race in galloping races, the English Thoroughbred. In the 50th century, oriental stallions were crossed with broodmares of the English breed thus giving birth to the breed of the English thoroughbred, renowned for its speed.
