ARABIAN RACING REVIEW 2004
BY PAUL SIMMONS

BENGALI D’ALBRET (Cheri Bibi X Mangalie D’Albret (Manganate)

BENGALI D’ALBRET (Cheri Bibi X Mangalie D’Albret (Manganate)
Bengali D’Albret was an incredible race horse, the winner of 16 races from 24 starts, he remains the only Arabian racehorse to have won the triple crown two years in a row. As a racehorse he was renowned for his tough attitude and pure will to win. With Cheri Bibi as his sire and Manganate his broodmare sire, his pedigree has always assured - along with his outstanding success on the racetrack - that he would be much sought after as a sire. His first crop in 2000 included the useful Barq (X Pesennaia (Naftalin)) who won the Group 2 Jumeirah International, his progeny’s results went from strength to strength with him being Champion sire in 2002 and 2003. However, it is this season’s results that have classed him as sire of note as he has recorded another season as Champion sire and is also second in the Group sire statistics and it is this achievement that cements his position as a sire of substance. His Group winners this year have all be trained by Tony Brunton, the first Shahngali (x Affecshahn (Derbist)) won the opening race of the season a Group 3 over seven furlongs, he also went on to score in a valuable handicap over five furlongs at Bath and over six furlongs at Stratford for owner Tracey Wright. Undoubtedly his finest progeny to date has been CS Camellia (X Ciarosa (Ciato)) who outbattled multiple Group winner Dormah De Brugere to victory in the Group 1 Hatta Mares Stakes over one mile two furlongs on Dubai Day. He then had another winner when CS Al Wahed (X Cikada (Klarnet)) won the Group 2 Stayers race over two miles at Newbury beating Dubai Stakes runner up Juma in the process. The last two are owned and bred by Michael Brunton – who once again is the top breeder in the UK. A versatile sire who has now sired Group winners from seven furlongs to two miles with a Group 1 middle distance performer as well, his stock seem to be late maturing as Shahngali and CS Camellia are both five and CS Al Wahed is a six year old. Bengali D’Albret is Champion Group sire as well as Champion in 2004. His other winners this season have included: Almost All (x Emotsia (Esplendor) – won one mile four furlong maiden, Benedikt (x Duiker (Galeon) – won five furlong handicap sprint, Khaliber (x Khaddouj (Haroun) – won over two miles and one mile four furlongs, Kammarayah (X Aicha Tourettes (Dormane)) – won one mile two furlong maiden, Lamasat (X Komet (Kesberoy)) – won one mile maiden, Muthaaber (X Volna (Anchar)) won six furlong maiden.

MAKZAN (Managanate X Miss Dior (Badr Bedur):

MAKZAN (Managanate X Miss Dior (Badr Bedur):
Makzan was a phenomenal race horse and won 19 races including the Group 1 Zaabeel Stakes, the Al Nahyan Stakes, the US Turf Cup (USA) and the Qatar Sprint Championship. He had his first proper season as a sire in the UK with several useful four year olds to represent him this year. However, last season his first juvenile runner in the UK FH Dynamique (X Desna (Kumir)) was second in a juvenile race at Chepstow over six furlongs. Makzan has had several winners in America and Qatar including Pigaro (won Futurity Cup Holland 2003), Miqdam, Jawlan, Rzoe Lute, Lattamah, Dhahmaan, Jaheen, Badawi, Mohifa, Mujah and Muharib. But this season CS Patriarch (x Pokrovka (Desant)) has flown the flag for him in fine style winning four times including the Al Attiya Maiden Stakes over seven furlongs at Lingfield and being placed second twice and third his worst result. Patriarch who’s dam won a couple of lowly 0-45 handicaps crowned his spectacular season with an emphatic win at Newmarket over seven furlongs where he showed guts to get up on the line to beat one time Derby hope Bengal Lotois. Makzan is also the sire of the useful looking Mack The Knife (X GAS Pepelka (Pepel)) who won his maiden nicely at Stratford over a mile and then trounced his rivals in a valuable handicap at Chepstow over one mile two furlongs where he beat subsequent winner Fedor Du Bournais. Maksun Angel (X Island Sunrise (Parmant)) also won a maiden over one mile two furlongs and was placed second in his two other starts. Miss Moncrieff (x Zeinah (Samsheik) didn’t win this season but showed her sire’s true grit in several notable performances including when narrowly beaten over seven furlongs in the Emirates Breeders Society Stakes on Dubai Day by stable mate The Vertuous Crusader, she was also third behind the Mack The Knife in another competitive handicap at Chepstow over one mile two furlongs, she was then narrowly beaten into second at the line by Deolali over a mile before finishing her season with a staying on third behind Patriarch at Newmarket. She will without a doubt lose her maiden tag next season.

This season though has been his best as a sire with two Group winners, and it is this that defines a sire of note – the abilitity to sire a Group winner and a maiden winner. Aljard (x Ester Du Paon (Cheri Bibi)) romped home in the seven furlong Group 2 Jumeriah International on Dubai Day. Kolver (x Kenithra (Djouras Tu)) then was beaten less than half a length into third in the Group 1 Hatta Mares Stakes. Kolver, however, did win nicely over a mile at Exeter in May beating subsequent feature handicap winner Deolali, she also finished the season with an emphatic win in the Umm Qarn Farms Cup Group 2 over a mile at Newmarket where she had useful Group performers Dormah De Brugere and Shahngali behind her. On Dubai Day Vert Olive’s useful son The Vertuous Crusader (x Crusaders Spirit (Sky Crusader)) won the Breeders Society Handicap Stakes over seven furlongs from a highly competitive field of 20. His other winners have included Varona (x Vahana (Djou Said)) who won a six furlong maiden at Stratford and Olivphaya who won over five furlongs at Hereford.
