Jockey Soufiane Saadi produced a superb ride as Khalid Mohammed S Al Harami-owned Sun Amer clinched the Ras Umm Hasah Cup at the Al Uqda Racecourse on Saturday.
Trained by Rashid Mohammed Alathba, the six-year-old displayed remarkable determination in the 1300m Purebred Arabian Conditions feature race, battling fiercely in the final strides to secure a narrow neck victory over Mared Al Jasra and claim the prestigious title.
The win marked a double for Saadi, who earlier guided Alban Elie De Mieulle-trained Wafei to victory in the Thoroughbred Handicap 70-90 (Class 3) race.
