Walls Of Dubrovnik score his tenth win in Mauritius winning the Coupe d’or (1600m G1) on Sunday. The Shyam-Hurchund trained horse started his career at the Champ-de-mars racecourse in the Benchmark 31 and was only beaten once out of eleven outings.
Walls Of Dubrovnik raced in second position behind The Gatekeeper. He hunted down the leader in the final straight ton win, earning Andre-Luiz da Silva and the Shyam Hurchund yard their first Classic wins. The Gatekeeper finished second in front of the favourite Frosted Gold.
