Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum’s Shadwell has enjoyed much success in South Africa with Australian bred two year-olds this season and claimed another win at Greyville on Wednesday with an Aussie youngster they bred themselves. Prepared by Mike de Kock, Magic Albert colt Qeyaadah finished second at his first three starts and broke the ice to win over 1400 metres by two and three-quarter lengths at his fourth start. Foaled and raised at Yarraman Park, Qeyaadah is a half-brother to Group II placed Ataab and is the third winner from three to race from metro winner Azwa, a half-sister by Haafhd to South African Group II winner Mujaarib. Azwa has a Stratum rising two year-old colt called Malzoom and a weanling filly by Bernardini (USA). After many successful seasons at Yarraman Park, Magic Albert has relocated this spring to Kooringal Stud Wagga and stands at a fee of $8,800.
