Daring Eagle lifts Jinnah Cup

Published January 28, 2002

LAHORE, Jan 27: The four-to-one chance bay filly Daring Eagle lifted the Jinnah Cup, ran over five furlongs, during the 16th Lahore Winter Meeting at the Racecourse Sunday.

Daring Eagle, progeny of Shogun out-of Fleur-De-Oro, made all the running brushing aside the challenge of both the fillies Red Storm and Qaswa Princess in the home straight. She stretched out in a fine style over the distance to record an effortless victory.

While registering the win, Daring Eagle beat her stablemate Red Storm by three-quarter-of-a-length. Qaswa Princess finished third, three-and-a-quarter lengths further behind.

Jinnah Cup was worth Rs 120,000 while the second place finish earned Red Storm Rs40,000.

Daring Eagle is owned by M.Shafiq Sadiq and trained by Memraiz Khan.

The bay horse Admiral’s Way won the supporting event that was run over a distance of seven furlongs.

Riding boy Majid Khan partnered Admiral’s Way and rode him ahead of the field from a furlong marker to annex the race. He defeated Half Love by three lengths.

Earlier four-year-old bay filly Cisco Magic rallied from almost last position to win the fifth race by a-length-and-a-quarter from the leader Quest For Success.

Jockey Aamer Parvez staged his comeback in the saddle by bringing in a brace of winners. He piloted the fancied Divine Force in the second race and the odds-on favourite King Fisher in the following event. Both his winners were sent out by trainer Amjad Ali II.
