GSW Emaraaty Ana (GB) (Shamardal) is in good form in advance of the G1 Juddmonte Middle Park S. at Newmarket's Rowley Mile on Sept. 29. Trained by Kevin Ryan, the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum colourbearer would be the third winner of the 1200-metre event for the Yorkshire-based trainer after Amadeus Wolf (GB) (Mozart {Ire}) in 2005 and Astaire (Ire) (Intense Focus) in 2013. Originally racing in the silks of Ahmad Abdulla Al Shaikh, the bay was a debut winner at Windsor on Apr. 30 and ran third in the Listed Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Rose Bowl S. going the Middle Park distance at Newbury on July 20, before his half-length win in the Gimcrack on Aug. 24.
“Emaraaty Ana is a very uncomplicated horse who has come out of his Gimcrack win in good form,” said trainer Kevin Ryan. “He is fresh and well. The Gimcrack-Middle Park S. double is something that I have pulled off before and it just seemed the right way to go with him. This will be his last run of the year and he will be much bigger and stronger next season.”
