Dramatic UAE Oaks for Honest Mischief and Sharp Azteca Filly

Written By Carlos Manresa

QUEEN AZTECA (f, 3, Sharp Azteca–Princesa Helena, by Palace Malice) wore down the game frontrunner Arigatou Gozaimasu (Honest Mischief) in the final strides to take the G3 UAE Oaks Presented by DP World by three-quarters of a length at Meydan on Friday. Still four lengths in arrears at the furlong grounds, the Kentucky-bred closed in determined fashion to just pip the leader. The final time for the 1900 metres on dirt was 2:00.43.
