Haatem will represent Wathnan Racing when he shortens his distance for the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. The Qatari-based ownership group had success last year with Courage Mon Ami and Gregory, and they have added promising new acquisitions including the impressive 2000 Guineas third and Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up.
Wathnan's racing adviser, Richard Brown, is excited about Haatem's potential at the seven-furlong distance, as he prepares to take on tough competitors like Notable Speech and Rosallion. He believes Haatem's proven stamina will serve him well in the stiff competition at Ascot.
In addition to Haatem, Wathnan will also be represented by Shartash in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. The Archie Watson-trained horse has impressed in his two recent victories and is expected to excel at the six-furlong distance at Ascot. Brown is confident in Shartash's abilities and is looking forward to a strong showing at the prestigious event.
