Vazirabad, one of France’s highest-rated three-year-olds of 2015, maintained his upward progression on Saturday 26 March when landing the G2 Dubai World Cup at Meydan. Winner of his last five starts including the G1 Prix Royal-Oak, he had a troubled preparation for his seasonal debut and had to dig deep to come from the back to defeat Big Orange.
Owned and bred by H.H The Aga Khan, Vazirabad is a son of the G3-winning mare Visorama (Linamix) and a half-brother to the Stakes winner Visoriyna.
Manduro, the brilliant Horse of the Year and Timeform world Champion, has sired three G1 winners in his first two crops that feature top fillies Ribbons and Charity Line. As well as Vazirabad, Manduro has the unbeaten G1-winning juvenile Ultra who is being aimed at the Derby this season.
Manduro is standing this season at a fee of €7,000.
