Saturday, August 1, 2020, Deauville. - A good fourth in the Prix de Diane Longines (Gr1) after a tricky trip, Raabihah (Sea the Stars) completely dominated the Prix de Psyché Sky Sports Racing (Gr3). The Shadwell Stud-bred and Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned chestnut filly took over the British raiders Arriviste (Sea the Moon) and Run Wild (Amaron) a furlong out and ran on to win by 3.5 lengths on the bit. Granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Epsom Oaks winners, she led home Wangari (Soldier Hollow), who was ridden early but managed to get the upper hand on Arriviste, who was also finally beaten for the third place by a very resolute Alkandora (Nathaniel).
Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, Raabihah had easily won her first two races before the Prix de Diane Longines (Gr1), when 4th just half a length behind Fancy Blue, who has since won the Nassau Stakes against the best European fillies and mares.
The trainer has named the Qatar Prix Vermeille (Gr1) and Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Gr1) as the filly's next races.
