the three-year-old filly has won three
of nine career starts and banked
$486,927 in career earnings.
“Sheikh Hamdan normally retires
fillies after their three-year-old season,”
said Neal McLaughlin, assistant and brother to Alwajeeha’s trainer,
Kiaran McLaughlin. “He will probably do that with her; she has nothing
left to prove.”

i.e., she's done enough, in sheikh-speak

She has nothing left to prove... my ASS. She won one crappy grade 1 with an absolute perfect trip, after folding like a used Playboy in other races with less of a trip.

I came into work today even though it was technically a day off. I have nothing left to prove now, I'm retiring.

The day of unexpected retiree's continues. Add Philscki to the mix of Big Brown and Alwajeewah.
