Already a winner of three Group 1 PA victories in 2020, his first competitive season, the now five-year-old Hattal by Mahabb out of Mizzna (Akbar) added another Group 1 PA to his growing record when he lifted the The President of the UAE Cup-Coupe d’Europe des Chevaux Arabes, which took place on May 16 at the ParisLongchamp racecourse.

Trained by Xavier Thomas-Demeaulte, he was as always ridden by Ioritz Mendizabal. Bred by the Clairfeuille stud in Normandy, he runs in the colours of YAS Horse Racing Management.

He has now 6 victories to his name, including 4 Group 1 PA victories and a success in a Group 2 PA race. He was also the runner-up on his only other start.
