Nabati Reverses Arapaho Gold Form in Mill Reef Stakes The Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury on September 19, 2026, was a poignant tribute to the late Ian Balding.
The emotional scenes that unfolded as Charlie Appleby's Nabati crossed the finish line ahead of Andrew Balding's Jolivette were a testament to the enduring legacy of Park Stables' beloved resident.
Nabati's victory over Arapaho Gold was no small feat, given that the latter had previously bested the 7 4 chance over course and distance in July. The narrow short head verdict only added to the drama of the event.
