On Saturday, with Olivier Peslier astride, Yazeed found traffic coming off the final bend in the 2000m race, even as H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Thani’s EBRAZ (Amer x Massamarie), ridden by Theo Bachelot for Julian Colin Smart, picked up pace up front having taken the advantage coming up wide. However, a furlong out, the Alban Elie Marie De Mieulle-schooled Yazeed was galloping alongside Ebraz and the two were eventually separated by a short head at the line with Yazeed adding the Derby to his Guineas victory this season. Another Smart ward, SHABIH ALREEH (Jaafer ASF x Queen Kong), was third under Carlo Fiocchi’s ride.
