Nezwaah (foaled 25 February 2013) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse. Unraced as a two-year-old she showed promising form as a three-year-old when she won three races including the Listed Hoppings Stakes. She reached her peak in the first half of the 2017 season when she won the Rothesay Stakes before recording her biggest victory in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes. She raced in five countries, namely England, Ireland, France, Canada and the United States. Background Nezwaah is a bay mare with white socks on her front and back left legs bred in the United Kingdom by Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud. She entered the ownership of Sheikh Mohammed's brother Ahmed Al Maktoum and was sent into training with Roger Varian at Newmarket, Suffolk. She was from the seventh crop of foals sired by Dubawi, whose wins included the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the Prix Jacques Le Marois. At stud, Dubawi has been a highly successful breeding stallion, siring major winners such as Ghaiyyath, Monterosso, Al Kazeem, Makfi, Old Persian, Lucky Nine and Night of Thunder. Nezwaah's dam Ferdoos showed good racing form in a brief track career, winning three of her five starts including the Listed Pinnacle Stakes. She was descended from the American broodmare Gay Hostess (foaled 1957) making her a relative of Caracolero, Real Quiet, Majestic Prince and Secreto. Racing career 2016: three-year-old season On her racecourse debut Nezwaah started the 8/11 for a maiden race over one mile on the Polytrack surface at Chelmsford City Racecourse on 6 January 2016 in which she was ridden by Jack Mitchell and won by one and a half lengths from Rahyah after taking the lead inside the final furlong. On 1 February at Wolverhampton Racecourse, with Mitchell again in the saddle, the filly started favourite for a handicap over eight and a half furlongs on Tapeta and overcame a slow start to win "readily" by three and a half lengths. Nezwaah was stepped up in class and distance for her debut on turf and sustained her first defeat as she came home third behind We Are Ninety and Beautiful Moring in the Listed Fillies' Trial Stakes over ten furlongs at Newbury Racecourse on 14 May. Harry Bentley took the ride when Nezwaah returned to the synthetic track and started the 3/1 favourite for the Listed Hoppings Stakes at Newcastle Racecourse on 24 June when she was matched against older opponents
