The seventh race of tomorrow is the Al Khalediah Cup, a 2,000-meter flat race reserved for Arabians thoroughbred, who return at San Siro racecourse after some years of absence. As the result of centuries of careful selection, especially on the part of the Bedouin tribes, the Arabian is a special horse: the vertebrae, smaller than the English thoroughbred, make the horse more “compact” but with exceptional strength and endurance capacity.

   Therefore, in addition to  flat races, Arabian horses are particularly suited to endurance racing. At moderate temperament combines unique capabilities in learning, spent together with a look very sweet and endearing. Intersections with Arabian horses were used in the past to improve the quality of the English thoroughbred.

   They will be 14 at the start of the Al Khalediah Cup: the French Ghadanfar At Khalediah, is the reference point of contention. Alibaba Del Sol is another guest particularly strong, while Nasco and Fedayn constitute the hard core of the Italian opposition.
