Seemar's Drew's Gold sparkles in Meydan meet

It’s taken three trainers and almost two years, but Drew's Gold finally got his win in the UAE, taking the feature race on a magical evening for Bhupat Seemar at Meydan Racecourse.

The dual UAE Champion Trainer collected four wins, but Drew's Gold was peerless in the Dubai Island Handicap, race six, over 1200metres on dirt.

Originally brought to Dubai by US-based Chad Summers in 2024, he had a spell with Julio Olascoaga before moving to Seemar. The stable switch meant he was ridden by Tadhg O’Shea who kept the five-year-old wide from his draw in 12 and unleashed him at the 300metre point for a seven-length win over Echo Point.

“It was my first time riding him in a race,” said the 12-time UAE Champion Jockey. “He was third to Tuz in the G3 Al Shindagha Sprint but there was no Tuz in there tonight.

“He was a Stakes horse in the States and he had top weight this time, which is not easy to do around here - he impressed me tonight.”
