Omega Rach (*Uzbek Du Lion x Orchestra Rach), who already had one victory under his belt, is the maternal brother of Ozymandias Rach (Sir Bani Yas x Orchestra Rach), another Rach Stud stallion with two victories, he was away from racing for a period of São Paulo racing and returned in style in this 2024 season, achieving two second places before winning the UAE President Cup I Award.
Trainer Lucas Quintana commented: “Orchestra Rach’s sons are showing their full potential this year. In this race Omega showed that he is a horse that likes to run on grass and had a wonderful battle with Passionaddo and we won first and second place and we are confident in the next races.”
“We are very pleased with the two first places. Omega Rach was inactive for a period, but he returned in excellent form and shows that he is ready to face the great prizes that are to come. He will be one of Rach Stud’s stal-lions, as he is an animal that we greatly admire due to both his father’s and his mother’s genetics. Regarding Passionaddo Rach, he surprised us because running on grass is not his specialty and won an honorable second place”, declared the breeder and owner Ricardo Jamil Saliba.
Prêmio UAE President Cup For Colts & Fillies I was organised by Arabian Horse Breeders Brazilian Association in partnership with Jockey Club de São Paulo.
