Aqlaam out to put younger rivals in their place in QE11
After turning in placed efforts in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot and the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville, the Willie Haggas-trained four-year-old hit the bullseye in Group One company with an authoritative display in the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp.
Angus Gold, racing manager for owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, reports the colt to have taken those exertions well and although he is forced concede weight to the likes of Delegator and Rip Van Winkle at the weekend, Gold is hoping for the best.
