Quddwah (GB) Claims Singspiel Stakes G2 at Meydan, ridden by R.

Quddwah (GB) produced a decisive turf victory in the Group 2 Singspiel Stakes at Meydan, winning the 1800m test by 2½ lengths on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026. Ridden by Ryan Moore (credited in charts as MOORE RYAN and referenced in some reports as R. L. Moore), the Kingman-sired 6-year-old took the AED1,400,000 race for owners Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum and was trained by Simon & Ed Crisford.

The win extended Quddwah’s strong early-season form at Meydan. He had taken the G2 Zabeel Mile on Jan. 2 and returned off a fourth-place finish in the Listed Abu Dhabi Gold Cup on Feb. 7. TDN’s pre-race notes also recorded that Quddwah had been near the rear in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot before bouncing back to strike in the Zabeel Mile, and that connections engaged Ryan Moore for Saturday’s assignment.

BloodHorse’s chart extract lists Quddwah’s breeder as Godolphin (GB), his sire as Kingman (GB), and the official margin as 2½ lengths. That chart line appears alongside export-format data referencing StallionRegister links and sale-statistics text; those database fragments are visible in the supplied chart snippet and should be cross-checked if used for stallion or sales analysis.

The Singspiel drew eight runners: Maljoom (Ire), Alakazi (Fr), Holloway Boy (GB), Quddwah (GB), Dividend (GB), Tumbler (Fr), Folk Festival (Ire), and Dioptase (Ire). Sky Sports’ race page displayed the runners with silks captions; Quddwah’s silks were shown as White, purple epaulettes, white sleeves, white cap. Sky Sports also listed silk descriptions for the others, including Dividend as White, red quartered, white, red stars sleeves, white, red star cap; Holloway Boy as Emerald Green, red epaulets; Alakazi as Light blue, royal blue seams, light blue sleeves, light blue cap; Folk Festival as Emerald Green, light blue epaulettes, emerald green sleeves, emerald green cap; Dioptase as Blue, blue, white stars sleeves, white, blue cap; Tumbler as Yellow, black epaulettes, yellow sleeves, yellow cap. Maljoom’s silk is noted on the page but the full descriptor in the supplied snippet was truncated.

Sportinglife’s pre-race market showed Alakazi installed as favourite at 11/8 with Quddwah at 3/1, Holloway Boy 4/1 and Dividend 13/2. TDN’s race preview had highlighted Alakazi as carrying the silks of the Executors of the late His Highness Aga Khan and noted Alakazi’s target toward the G1 Dubai Turf in 29 days’ time.

The Singspiel was part of Meydan’s big international card that included the Dubai City of Gold (G2) and a “Super Saturday” billing; TDN’s race block listed the Singspiel post time as 20:00 while Sky Sports and Sportinglife showed the race at 16:00 on their pages, a discrepancy that may reflect time-zone or schedule displays. Rebel’s Romance’s victory in the Dubai City of Gold was one of the other headline results on the Feb. 28 card in coverage from the same meet.

No post-race quotes from jockey, trainer or owner were included in the supplied reports. Quddwah’s Singspiel win, combined with his Zabeel Mile score, cements him as a leading middle-distance turf performer for Sheikh Ahmed’s operation at Meydan this season; connections have not announced a next target in the material provided.
