Charlie Appleby made a clean sweep of the three Group races at Meydan yesterday, highlighted by Mythical Magic’s win in the Gr.2 Zabeel Mile (1600m).

 

The four-year-old son of Iffraaj tracked the leading pair Top Score and Century Dream (in a share of third). With Top Score fading, Century Dream kicked off the home turn into a two-length lead, but Mythical Magic quickly reeled him in and ran on strongly to score by three lengths.

 

Iffraaj has been a long-time shuttler to New Zealand’s Haunui Farm and has sired nine individual Group One winners and has 5.6 percent stakes-winners to runners.
