One month to the day, after flying over the International Jockeys Championship organized in Happy Valley (Hong Kong – China), the tricolor Mickaël Barzalona once again showcased his talent by winning a group I in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, in the saddle on Mostmsekh. The only filly of the lot to take part in this group I for 4 years contested over the distance of 2,000 meters (dirt), the French Silver Crop 2024 drew the quintessence, allowing the protégé of Ab. Almushawwah to sign its prettiest flagship. Armed with the rope number located at the very outside (8), Mickaël Barzalona voluntarily asked his filly to accelerate to get the best of the rest of the peloton, before falling back to the rope side. Maintaining a steady pace until the exit of the final turn, his partner responded perfectly to his requests, standing out irresistibly in the final phase. Aged 33, the man who recently signed an original equipment contract for His Highness Aga Khan’s classic team has become one of the best drivers in the world over time.
