Chosen Mark and Antonio Fresu scoop top handicap at Jebel Ali

Chosen Mark under Antonio Fresu made a perfect start for his new owner Ali Haddad, winning the most valuable handicap prize in the seven-race card at Jebel Ali on Saturday.

Trained by Ahmed Al Shemaili, the five-year-old won for the second successive time over the track and trip.

Fresu had him in the middle of the field before sending him to the front on the uphill finish of the track to pull clear of Mayaadeen by a length and three quarters over the 1,400-metre trip.

“He is in top form and a more confident horse after he won here on his last visit,” Fresu said.

“I held him until the final furlong and when I let him go, he just took off up the hill and won well. He seems to love this track and trip, and that’s his third win at Jebel Ali.”

The remaining six prizes, including one for the Purebred Arabians, was shared by six different riders, trainers and owners.

Bernardo Pinheiro and Basem Al Wathba, in the silks of Sheikh Mansour’s Al Wathba Racing, were impressive winners by more than seven lengths of the opening prize for Arabians for trainer Majed Al Jahouri.

Tadhg O’Shea and Bhupat Seemar followed up Friday’s Dubai World Cup Carnival double at Meydan by taking the next with Talentum, proving third time lucky when winning by a short head over Kal Barg and Jean van Overmeire.

“He’s from a good owner we have, Mr Walter Moraes. We bought him really on a budget, and when the budget comes out and wins races, you look like a genius,” Seemar said of the Accelerate colt.

“We may try him at Meydan now. He’s improved with every run. Now there are some nice races for the three year olds. He came from the back of the field and up the hill over the six furlong trip, so he can step up in distance from seven furlongs to a mile.”

That win took O’Shea’s tally to 40 for the season, 11 more than his closest challenger Fresu.

Kat Wightman's tips on how to create zones in large spaces

 

  • Area carpets or rugs are the easiest way to segregate spaces while also unifying them.
  • Lighting can help define areas. Try pendant lighting over dining tables, and side and floor lamps in living areas.
  • Keep the colour palette the same in a room, but combine different tones and textures in different zone. A common accent colour dotted throughout the space brings it together.
  • Don’t be afraid to use furniture to break up the space. For example, if you have a sofa placed in the middle of the room, a console unit behind it will give good punctuation.
  • Use a considered collection of prints and artworks that work together to form a cohesive journey.

Torno Subito by Massimo Bottura

When the W Dubai – The Palm hotel opens at the end of this year, one of the highlights will be Massimo Bottura’s new restaurant, Torno Subito, which promises “to take guests on a journey back to 1960s Italy”. It is the three Michelinstarred chef’s first venture in Dubai and should be every bit as ambitious as you would expect from the man whose restaurant in Italy, Osteria Francescana, was crowned number one in this year’s list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Akira Back Dubai

Another exciting opening at the W Dubai – The Palm hotel is South Korean chef Akira Back’s new restaurant, which will continue to showcase some of the finest Asian food in the world. Back, whose Seoul restaurant, Dosa, won a Michelin star last year, describes his menu as,  “an innovative Japanese cuisine prepared with a Korean accent”.

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal

The highly experimental chef, whose dishes are as much about spectacle as taste, opens his first restaurant in Dubai next year. Housed at The Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal will feature contemporary twists on recipes that date back to the 1300s, including goats’ milk cheesecake. Always remember with a Blumenthal dish: nothing is quite as it seems.
