On 31 May, the Sluzewiec racecourse, which lies in the vicinity of Warsaw, hosted the sixth leg of the 2015 Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Cup, which was open to four-year-old and older horses and was run over 2400 meters.
Ten runners had gone to the start and once more Ameretto (Amer x Win Taouy) was first past the post, beating Westim (Nougatin x Wienerva). The nine-year-old grey Ameretto is the record holder of the series, thanks to his sixth victory that day, including four obtained on the Sluzewiec racecourse.
