Zahrat Dubai (GB)

This daughter of Unfuwain was given a gentle introduction when a respectable sixth of 27 in a back-end juvenile maiden over 7f at Newmarket in October 1998; this tall, attractive and scopey filly quickened to an impressive success in the Group 3 Musidora Stakes over 1m 2.5f at York on good to soft ground on her seasonal reappearance the following May; sent off 9-4 favourite for the Oaks at Epsom the following month, she appeared not to stay the longer trip when third behind Ramruma; after a small break to get over those exertions, she made virtually all the running to land the all-aged Group 1 Nassau Stakes late in July over 1m2f at Goodwood on firm ground; retired to the paddocks after two further outings at the end of her 3yo campaign
