Street Sense's Awab Lights Up Meydan

2nd-Meydan, AED165,000, Mdn., 11-8, NH 2yo & SH 3yo, 1400m, 1:24.72, ft.
AWAB (c, 2, Street Sense–Impossible Tale, by Tale Of Ekati), making his first start, was a touch green out in the centre of the track, but soon settled in a tracking third. Still punching the breeze on the bend, the colt was set to his task by jockey Daniel Tudhope, and soon surged up into contention with 500 metres remaining. Setting sail for leader Diamond Dealer (Lord Nelson), he steamed past early in the home straight and poured it on to win by 5 1/4 lengths. Diamond Dealer was a similar margin in front of Norato (Brz) (Kentuckian) in third. He was purchased by M T Stable for $5,000 at Fasig-Tipon's Kentucky October Yearling Sale and caught the eye of KGS for €90,000 when reoffered during Arqana's May Breeze-Up Sale. The fourth foal, third runner and first winner for his dam, Awab is followed by a yearling filly by Danish Dynaformer. Dual winner Impossible Tale was bred to Perfect Timber this spring. Second dam Impossible Time (Not Impossible {Ire}) was a champion in Canada. Sales history: $5,000 Ylg '23 FTKOCT; €90,000 2yo '24 ARQMAY. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, AED99,000. VIDEO.
