Al Qareem made it 3 succeeding wins in the BetMGM Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot with the sort of identified front-running efficiency that has become his trademark.


Karl Burke's stalwart has now won 12 of his 34 races, declaring over ₤ 700,000 in reward cash for his owners, the Nick Bradley Racing distribute.


While never ever permitted to entirely do his own thing in front, Clifford Lee kicked for home early in the straight to make it a real endurance test, and although Hamish looked to be taking a trip strongly it quickly ended up being clear Al Qareem had plenty left.


The evergreen six-year-old (9-4), galloped on powerfully regardless of the headwind to win by 6 lengths from Tenability, a of Hamish, who stayed on for 2nd.


Burke stated: "He installed a wonderful, tough performance. We understand he's a brave horse and he went hard.


"I stated to Clifford do not hesitate to go hard, specifically out of Swinley Bottom, as he could nick a couple of lengths and get the others at it since all he does is keep galloping. You can do that over a mile and a half on soft ground and whereas one-mile-six is most likely his true trip, anything above that he just runs out of endurance.

"He's a terrific warrior and it's an excellent outcome."


Burke, who also won the Sun Chariot at Newmarket with Fallen Angel, continued his extraordinary current run of big-race success when Native Warrior (9-4 favourite) took the ₤ 180,000 BetMGM Challenge Cup.


Jamie Spencer was on board, simply as he was when winning another important prize over course and distance last month.


Burke stated: "It was a great efficiency and he's always threatened to do what he's done in his last 2. I believe the visor has made the difference and Jamie on the straight track at Ascot is a master.


"Everything has actually fallen right for him the last twice and he will return to Ascot now for the Balmoral on Champions Day.


"He'll have a 6lb penalty but is in excellent form at present."
