One of the most remarkable success stories of 2020 has centered on Tawkeel, the first foal from Rafaadah, Oasis Dream’s daughter. Owned by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, Tawkeel is trained by Jean-Claude Rouget and earned a victory in January at her three-year-old debut in the Maiden Stakes in Pau, France.

In subsequent months, the British-bred filly won conditions races held in Deauville and Cagnes sur Mer. Even more impressive was her June 14 victory at Chantilly in the Saxon Warrior Coolmore Prix Saint Alary. Following an excellent start, Tawkeel was “shaken up” by jockey Cristian Demuro, only two furlongs from home. At this point she put on a display of speed that gave her a decisive five-length victory over Magic Attitude, the most recent Prix Vanteaux winner.

Racing enthusiasts are watching closely to see what further achievements await Tawkeel at the outset of what promises to be an outstanding career.
