REALLY SPECIAL (GB) (f, 3, Shamardal–Rumh {Ger}, by Monsun {Ger}), the winner of Newmarket's Listed Montrose S. last out Oct. 29, kept her unbeaten record intact in Thursday's UAE 1000 Guineas trial in her first try on dirt. Saving ground on the fence just off the pace, the bay switched out for running room in the lane under Christophe Soumillon. Set under a drive, she took over in the closing stages and ultimately drew clear to best the maiden Complimenti (Congrats) by 3 1/4 lengths. The time for 1400 metres was 1:25.89. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0.
