Masar’s juvenile son, Prince Rasam, made a perfect start to his career when scoring at Chelmsford City on Saturday, 30 September, becoming the latest winner for his young sire.
Trained by Michael Bell, the bay colt, who is owned by East 11 Limited, jumped well from the gates and was soon settled at a steady pace in third. Inside the final three furlongs Prince Rasam began to make his challenge, taking up the lead inside the final half furlong, he drew clear of the field in the 10-furlong novice contest to score comfortably by two lengths under Callum Shepherd, with Dubai Venture, also by Masar, finishing third.
