Allure BV achieves third victory in the IFAHR Cup Race and second victory in a row
The 7-year-old gray mare Allure BV won the IFAHR Cup Race Award, the inaugural race of the IFAHR TROPHY in South America, held at the Cidade Jardim Hippodrome, Jockey Club of São Paulo, and organized by the Arabian Horse Breeders Brazilian Association, on Saturday November 23rd
The handicap race played over 1,600 meters on turf for 3-years-old and older; was contested by 10 of the best Arabian horses in South America to win this important trophy
The 5-year-old gray Cromo D´Jok Trio (*D’Jok Py x RT Crysti by Nawwak NA), ridden by apprentice jockey Gabriel Santana, dominated the race until 700 meters, always accompanied by Passionaddo Rach (Atentaddo VE x Passion Rach), when his half-sister Allure BV (*D’Jok Py x *Arzade Cabirat by Rhalan Cabirat), ridden by apprentice jockey Danilo Novais, started an attack on the outside and took second place
From the final 400 meters onwards, the two greys remain almost together in the dispute for first place, while Passamarie Rach (Mared Al Sahra x Passion Rach), ridden by João Moreira and with two victories this year, improves on the outside and is attacked by the debutant mare Stud Brasil Itacaré (Stud Brasil Mondesir x *Manari by Dormane) under the guidance of Jeane Alves
Allure BV fights for her third victory and second in a row after winning the UAE President Cup for Colts & Fillies VII Award two weeks ago and setting a record in the 1,400 meters for females; and her half-brother Cromo D’Jok Trio seek second victory after winning the UAE President Cup Series Award For Colts & Fillies II on September 21
Cromo D’Jok Trio and Allure BV cross together with an almost imperceptible difference that was only defined in the photochart. And the 7-year-old gray mare is crowned champion of the IFAHR Cup Race Award
One of the stars of the race, the debutant Stud Brasil Itacaré intensely at-tacked Passamarie Rach and crossed in third, a length behind the first two placed

The IFAHR Cup Race was undoubtedly the most exciting race of the year, providing a spectacle for the public, trainers, breeders and everyone at the Jockey Club in São Paulo on Saturday afternoon, as well as being a significant milestone in the Arabian horse racing calendar and highlighting the growing importance of the sport in Brazil
The IFAHR Trophy Race is part of a wider initiative to promote Arabian horse racing globally, with a focus also on South America. This racing series has been instrumental in supporting and enhancing the Arabian horse racing programme.
Owner Pedro Stefani Marino highlighted: “It was another brilliant race for Allure BV, which at the beginning was in the top positions and in the straight line she managed to catch up to her half-brother and they both crossed together, with a small advantage for her. It was a truly impressive race in which my father, Zezo Marino, was present and we are immensely happy with this second consecutive victory for Allure BV and third in three races”
Trainer Thiago Haidar stated: “Our animals had an excellent race and we believed that Allure BV would win, but this time it wasn’t like the previous ones. Cromo D’Jok Trio, her half-brother, took advantage of the eight-kilogram weight difference, which made all the difference at the finish line
“The two half-brothers met our expectations and Stud Brasil Itacaré sur-prised us, because despite having her own racing pedigree, she has only been with us for a short time, with little training time, and yet she exceeded our expectations, ran impeccably and almost finished in second place. It was a difficult race for her, as it was a handicap race and she competed against experienced animals with victories. I want to thank the whole team for believing in our work and we are looking for more victories
Jockey Danilo Novais said: “This was Allure BV’s first race over a mile and she was overweight; and since her debut she has shown that she likes to run. Since she is a mare that likes to run at the front, today I preferred to keep her further back, well positioned. I was in third position and at the start of the straight the other opponents approached and I felt that she was in great shape, eager to run and very easy to handle. Cromo, being lighter, was very willing and performed an easy race, galloping easily at the front. Despite the extra weight that Allure BV was carrying and the distance, she showed that she really likes to run and won another victory on the final disc
Almir José Ribeiro, Racing Director at ABCCA, said: “The holding of the first IFAHR Cup Race in Latin America is extremely important, as it places Brazil and Latin American countries in the World of Arabian Horse Racing in an in-disputable way
“Today we witnessed one of the most exciting races in 10 years. We predict-ed that half-brothers Allure BV and Cromo D’Jok Trio would provide an excellent show, and they did. I want to highlight the importance of Stud Brasil Itacaré’s achievement of third place, as she is owned by a traditional breeder of Arabian show horses who was enchanted by the races and believed in them; and this achievement will attract other owners
“Once again, our thanks to IFAHR and its president, Faisal Al Rahmani, for their trust in this important mission of promoting and fostering Arabian horse racing in the world
