In a historic achievement, Pakistani jockeys made the country proud in the most difficult and lengthy Mongol Derby horse race spanning a distance of one thousand kilometers.
Four Pakistani jockeys participated in the Mongol Derby race that covered a distance of one thousand kilometers through rugged terrains. Among them, Maazim Hayat Khan secured the fifth position. Dr. Fahd Jamil, Dr. Umar Hayat, and Aamir Qayyum jointly achieved the seventh position.
The participating riders in the Mongol Derby race hailed from countries such as the United States, England, Spain, Kenya, Sweden, Germany, Pakistan, Australia, Ireland, the Philippines, and Canada. Linda, representing Sweden, secured the first position.
The race contestants successfully navigated treacherous paths through mountains and jungles to reach their destination. Only 26 jockeys out of the total of 50 participants completed the 1000-kilometer race, with four of them being from Pakistan. Dr. Fahd Jamil, Dr. Umar Hayat, Aamir Qayyum, and Maazim Hayat completed the race together in a remarkable accomplishment.
Dr. Fahd Jamil, in an interview with a private channel, mentioned that Pakistan had participated for the first time in this highly perilous derby race. At one point, they were on track to finish in the third position, but a three-hour penalty set them back. Linda from Sweden secured the first position in the race.
The racers successfully traversed the dangerous terrains of mountains and jungles to complete the challenging race. Only 26 riders out of the total 50 were able to complete the 1000-kilometer race, and among them were four Pakistani jockeys. Dr. Fahd Jamil, Dr. Umar Hayat, Aamir Qayyum, and Maazim Hayat completed the race a day earlier.
Dr. Fahd Jamil emphasized that the four Pakistani jockeys helped each other throughout the race. They encountered challenges as their horses ran away three times during the race, but they collaborated to retrieve them. Even waiting for the lagging participants resulted in wasted time, but their main goal was to complete the race together despite the difficulties, which they ultimately achieved.
