Tipped to win his first race in Mauritius, Special Blend was right there. Owned by ex-bookmaker and biggest shareholder of the horse racing organizer, the People’s Turf PLC Ltd (PTP), Special Blend followed at the back of the field. Apprentice Nabil Sheik Batchameah waited patiently to have the inside run in the final straight. Special Blend was the best finisher and he won easily in front of Battle Of Alesia.
