Classic-winning combination Oisin Murphy and Mawj primed for Jebel Hatta at Meydan on Friday
Jet-setting jockey Oisin Murphy cannot wait to get back on 1,000 Guineas heroine Mawj in Dubai on Friday before he heads back to Florida for more big-race rides the next day.
Murphy, a three-time champion in Britain, has been in action at Gulfstream Park near Miami of late, but will travel to Meydan to partner the Saeed bin Suroor-trained Mawj in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta, which is worth nearly £400,000.
Owned and bred by Godolphin, Mawj won the Qipco-sponsored 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket in May under Murphy, who was also on board for success in October's Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland.
