Jockey-trainer partnership Jean van Overmeire and Michael Costa followed up their double at Jebel Ali on Saturday with another two winners at Meydan on Sunday.
Van Overmeire made all on Torrkee to take the opener by a length from Oscar Chavez and Harvest Gold, then produced a well-timed run from Alhzeem to win the next by nine lengths from Antonio Fresu and Arabian Gazelles.
Mickael Barzalona also rode a double for two different trainers. He won the fourth race on Salem bin Ghadayer’s Deciduous, and was back in the winner’s enclosure 35 minutes later on Simon and son Ed Crisford-trained Stormy Ocean.
“I was always travelling very well and tried to go inside but the gap closed so I had to change plan and switch outside,” Barzalona said of Deciduous.
“Once in the clear he really picked up and won well. You would like to think he can build on that as he has not had much racing.”
The Frenchman completed the double on local debutant Stormy Ocean, the former Godolphin runner having his first start for Rabbah Racing since joining the Crisfords.
“That was the first time I have ridden him in a race and he was perhaps travelling too strongly early on but he has finished his race off well. Hopefully there is more to come from him as he is a promising, horse,” Barzalona added.
Also rounding off the meeting with a double was the Emirati trainer Musabah Al Muhairi.
Fresu on Falsehood won the third race for him and Bernardo Pinheiro completed the double on Ra’Ad in the concluding handicap.

Pharaoh's curse
British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.

What is a robo-adviser?
Robo-advisers use an online sign-up process to gauge an investor’s risk tolerance by feeding information such as their age, income, saving goals and investment history into an algorithm, which then assigns them an investment portfolio, ranging from more conservative to higher risk ones.
These portfolios are made up of exchange traded funds (ETFs) with exposure to indices such as US and global equities, fixed-income products like bonds, though exposure to real estate, commodity ETFs or gold is also possible.
Investing in ETFs allows robo-advisers to offer fees far lower than traditional investments, such as actively managed mutual funds bought through a bank or broker. Investors can buy ETFs directly via a brokerage, but with robo-advisers they benefit from investment portfolios matched to their risk tolerance as well as being user friendly.
Many robo-advisers charge what are called wrap fees, meaning there are no additional fees such as subscription or withdrawal fees, success fees or fees for rebalancing.

FFP EXPLAINED
What is Financial Fair Play?
Introduced in 2011 by Uefa, European football’s governing body, it demands that clubs live within their means. Chiefly, spend within their income and not make substantial losses.
What the rules dictate?
The second phase of its implementation limits losses to €30 million (Dh136m) over three seasons. Extra expenditure is permitted for investment in sustainable areas (youth academies, stadium development, etc). Money provided by owners is not viewed as income. Revenue from “related parties” to those owners is assessed by Uefa's “financial control body” to be sure it is a fair value, or in line with market prices.
What are the penalties?
There are a number of punishments, including fines, a loss of prize money or having to reduce squad size for European competition – as happened to PSG in 2014. There is even the threat of a competition ban, which could in theory lead to PSG’s suspension from the Uefa Champions League.
