Re: Horse Racing
Qatar buy into Oaks favourite.

Qatar Racing Ltd has bought a half-share in leading Investec Oaks candidate Secret Gesture ahead of the Classic at Epsom on Friday.
The promising filly, an impressive winner of the Lingfield Oaks Trial, will stay with Ralph Beckett, who already has a win in the Oaks to his name with Look Here in 2008.
Qatar Racing is the brainchild of Sheikh Fahad Al Thani and the organisation enjoyed its first Classic success on Sunday when Just The Judge landed the Irish 1,000 Guineas for Charlie Hills.
David Redvers, the owner's racing manager, said: "She absolutely stays with Ralph. We've bought a 50% share and Newsells Park Stud will retain the other 50%. Nothing else will change apart from she will run in our colours.
