ERHAAB and MUHTARRAM get off the mark

A month into the UK turf season and both MUHTARRAM and ERHAAB have already amassed a fair tally of winners for 2003.

ERHAAB, who is of course still mainly represented in Japan, has produced no less than 36 winners and over three quarters of a million pounds in prize money since the turn of the year. Just last weekend he achieved an across the card double when WONDER VIVO and NICE CUT both won allowance races at Chukyo and Nakayama respectively.

MUHTARRAM has three winners on the board in the UK so far and another five overseas. The most notable performer so far has to be the game filly SA EROLA, who has run up a sequence of four consecutive wins in Italy.

Both of these stallions have been extremely well supported in 2003 and Shadwell are confident that they have the ability to make the very best of the opportunities they're being given.
