Qatar's accomplished rider Mubarak Yousuf al Rumaihi showed the superb form he's in finishing first and second in the feature class of the Big Tour on the opening day of the three-day HH Emir's Sword equestrian competition at the Qatar Equestrian Federation's main arena in Al Rayyan on Thursday.
Mubarak astride his trusted mount Vivaldi K, a 15-year-old chestnut gelding, topped the Table C, Art. 239 (140/150cm) class clearing the fences during the routine with finesse and aplomb. He finished in 66.19secs only to soon return to the arena a second time on Qatar Armed Forces' Bolandro, an 11-year-old bay stallion.
Mubarak and Bolandro too was a fine combine but this time it took them 67.38secs in completing the faultless routine which fetched the runners-up spot. The top two finish saw Mubarak collect QR17,500 and QR14,000 in prize.
Salmeen Sultan al Suwaidi on Cantaro 32, 17-year-old grey gelding, clocked 70.95secs to claim the third place on the podium and a prize of QR10.500.
The Medium Tour class (125/135cm) saw a big field of 26 riders in final run where Saeed Nasser al Qadi on Jessico 4 emerged on top clocking 60.02secs.
Mohammed Khalid al Qashouti, who recently excelled in the national Hathab series, finished second astride Alegro 84 in 62.2secs. Khalid Mohammed al Emadi on Fiji was third clocking 66.52secs.
In the Small Tour (110/120cm) class, Jassim Mohammed al Kuwari rode Va Va Voom to a winning finish with a faultless routine which took him only 59.70secs.
Mohammed Nasser al Qadi on Ferrari P.H. was second in 60.14secs, and In Shaallah Saad Hameed on his mount Casanova S.C.H. third clocking 60.58secs.
