Four-time Group 1-winning sprinter Muhaarar (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) was represented by his first winner when Raheeq (GB) ran out a 4 1/2-length winner of a Bath novice event Wednesday afternoon.

The subject of significant support on debut, the homebred was sent away as the 11-8 favourite and raced freely out wide without cover two lengths off the early pace. Sent to the front passing the two-furlong pole, she stayed on strongly to account for Allez Sophia (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) by a commanding margin.

In doing so, Raheeq becomes the first winner for her first-season sire (by Oasis Dream {GB}), winner in succession of the G1 Commonwealth Cup, G1 Darley July Cup, G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest and G1 QIPCO British Champions Sprint.

The listed-winning dam, who was also runner-up in the G1 Moyglare Stud S., produced as her first foal the Listed Rockingham S. scorer Mushir (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), SW-Eng & SP-UAE, $171,335. A half-sister to the G2 Diadem S.-winning sire Haatef (Danzig) and his G3 Athasi S.-winning full-sister Walayef, she has a yearling filly by Kingman (GB).

4th-Bath & Somerset County, £7,400, Novice, 6-26, 2yo, f, 5f 160yT, 1:09.97, gd.
