Doha, Qatar: Kerindia lived up to her billing as the favourite with a commanding performance to capture the Season Finale Trophy at Al Uqda Racecourse yesterday.
The five-year-old mare, owned by Injaaz Stud and trained by Zuhair Mohsen, was once again in a class of her own in the 1400m Thoroughbred (Class 1).
Ridden by Pierre Charles Boudot, who completed a double on the day, Kerindia surged clear in the home straight, sealing her fifth consecutive win by two and a half lengths ahead of her nearest rival Aemilianus.
