The four-year-old Luwsail (Al Mourtajez) continued to improve by landing the Gr 1 (PA) UAE President Cup (UK Arabian Derby) which took place at Doncaster on Saturday evening.With Ioritz Mendizabal in the saddle and trained by François Rohaut, Luwsail was third in the Gr 1 (PA) Qatar Derby des Pur-Sang Arabes de 4 Ans on last start. The Purebred Arabian reversed the form with favourite Extra Time (Valiant Boy).Owned & Bred by Al Shaqab Racing, Luwsail is now a Gr 1 (PA) winner.With all the runners racing keenly due to a lack of pace set by Amirat Al Zaman (Hilal Al Zaman), Luwsail was waiting in rear. Waiting for room over 3 furlongs out and going really easy, the homebred struggled to find a way out. Inside the final furlong, the superb colt finally found a tiny gap to lead in the last strides. Extra Time ran on for second while Molfit (Al Mourtajez) went third.
