With two runs under his belt, a change in tactics proved the right ploy for Faith And Fortune with a first success in 10 local starts.
Sandro Paiva in the saddle allowed the Cityscape gelding to win the solitary prize that was on offer for the thoroughbreds at Al Ain’s fourth race meeting on Saturday.
Faith And Fortune was a close fourth on his reappearance in Sharjah on October 31 and was third at Jebel Ali last week.
“He should have won at Jebel Ali but a change of riding plans did the trick tonight,” Jilani Siddiqui, assistant to the Grandstand Stables trainer Al Rashid Al Raihe, said.
“He was allowed to do what he wanted, that’s to allow him make the running. He stayed the trip [1,600m] well and I would like to think he will be effective over anything from 1,200m to 1,600m.”
Faith And Fortune’s first two races on local soil were in the Dubai World Cup Carnival for South African trainer Mike de Kock.
He raced twice for the Zabeel Stables trainer Satish Seemar before being bought out of the local sales by Al Raihe’s grandson Humaid.
“He’s run against better horses when he first arrived in the UAE and obviously a horse with potential, which he proved tonight,” Siddiqui said of his 12-length romp over Erwan Charpy’s Wings Of Gold, the best of the chasing pack in the 15-runner field.
“He dictated the pace and did his job well tonight. The boss will decide where he goes next.”
Helal Al Alawi celebrated a double on the night in the mixed seven-race card with two different jockeys.
French apprentice Hugo Lebouc rode Ghazwan Al Khalediah to victory in the second race and Al Alawi’s stable jockey Pat Cosgrave was atop Dinar Al Khalediah in the next win half hour later.

War on waste
'Worse than a prison sentence'
Marie Byrne, a counsellor who volunteers at the UAE government's mental health crisis helpline, said the ordeal the crew had been through would take time to overcome.
“It was worse than a prison sentence, where at least someone can deal with a set amount of time incarcerated," she said.
“They were living in perpetual mystery as to how their futures would pan out, and what that would be.
“Because of coronavirus, the world is very different now to the one they left, that will also have an impact.
“It will not fully register until they are on dry land. Some have not seen their young children grow up while others will have to rebuild relationships.
“It will be a challenge mentally, and to find other work to support their families as they have been out of circulation for so long. Hopefully they will get the care they need when they get home.”

The biog
Alwyn Stephen says much of his success is a result of taking an educated chance on business decisions.
His advice to anyone starting out in business is to have no fear as life is about taking on challenges.
“If you have the ambition and dream of something, follow that dream, be positive, determined and set goals.
"Nothing and no-one can stop you from succeeding with the right work application, and a little bit of luck along the way.”
Mr Stephen sells his luxury fragrances at selected perfumeries around the UAE, including the House of Niche Boutique in Al Seef.
He relaxes by spending time with his family at home, and enjoying his wife’s India cooking.

Need to know
The flights: Flydubai flies from Dubai to Kilimanjaro airport via Dar es Salaam from Dh1,619 return including taxes. The trip takes 8 hours.
The trek: Make sure that whatever tour company you select to climb Kilimanjaro, that it is a reputable one. The way to climb successfully would be with experienced guides and porters, from a company committed to quality, safety and an ethical approach to the mountain and its staff. Sonia Nazareth booked a VIP package through Safari Africa. The tour works out to $4,775 (Dh17,538) per person, based on a 4-person booking scheme, for 9 nights on the mountain (including one night before and after the trek at Arusha). The price includes all meals, a head guide, an assistant guide for every 2 trekkers, porters to carry the luggage, a cook and kitchen staff, a dining and mess tent, a sleeping tent set up for 2 persons, a chemical toilet and park entrance fees. The tiny ration of heated water provided for our bath in our makeshift private bathroom stall was the greatest luxury. A standard package, also based on a 4-person booking, works out to $3,050 (Dh11,202) per person.
When to go: You can climb Kili at any time of year, but the best months to ascend are January-February and September-October. Also good are July and August, if you’re tolerant of the colder weather that winter brings.
Do not underestimate the importance of kit. Even if you’re travelling at a relatively pleasant time, be geared up for the cold and the rain.
