Comet Prize: continuing superiority of Salam Al Khalediah

Bookmakers' favorite, SALAM AL KHALEDIAH, noted an easy win in the first stakes of 2020, Comet Prize (26 250 PLN, 2000 m), confirming his name of the best older racing Arabian in Poland.

In the interesting field of 8 (last year's derby winner DRAGON bred and owned by Z. Górski was withdrawn) the eyes of the spectators was turned to: 7-years-old SALAM AL KHALEDIAH, one of the AKF Poland Stables leading stars, strong and consistent BANDOLERO bred and owned by Janów Podlaski State Stud, and to the best 3-years-old of 2019, TABARAK’S ELVIRA bred and owned by E. Chat. Debuting on the turf, Moscow Derby winner SEIFUL MULUK bred and owned by R.O. Hahalev was a riddle for many.

Despite the highest weight in the field (63 kg, turf condition good) SALAM AL KHALEDIAH met the role of the favorite and under S. Mazur noted an easy win, leading from the start, with good finishing time of 2’20”4. He was followed by BANDOLERO, ridden by his trainer S. Vasyutov. SEIFUL MULUK won the third place, passing Salam's stable companion ANOOD AL KHALEDIAH by a neck.

The only 2020 Derby potential contender, HAMAL, was 7, losing more than 20 lengths to the winner.

PSAIAHF 2020: Shining Pepita

As every year in January, the eyes of the whole Arabian community were turned to Al Khalediah Farm in Saudi Arabia, where Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Title show was taking place. The brightest star of Polish breeding was Janów's PEPITA (Ekstern - Pepesza/Eukaliptus), who, after winning the class with a margin 2,3 points, was unanimously chosen Senior Champion Mare.

PEPITA, sold during the Pride of Poland 2015 Sale for a record-breaking 1.4 M euros, does not disappoint her owner, Akmal Stud. Showered with "twenties" did she win 10+ years old mare class with an impressive 94.5 points. During the championship, a set of ten judges showed rarely seen consent and Janów's mare was unanimously chosen the Senior Champion Mare. Bronze went to Michałów-bred senior, 21 years old FELICJANA (Ekstern - Felicja/Probat).

Currently leased by Mokhldiat Stud EQUATOR (QR Marc - Ekliptyka/Ekstern) didn't let us down as well. He won the 10+ years old class in a good style, following by taking the championship's silver.

Janów's ENCARINA(Ascot DD - Eneria/QR Marc) made a good debut among 3 years old fillies, placing third in her class.

Congratulations to all!

All Nations Cup 2019 - the Breeders' Cup for Poland

One silver and two bronzes, special trophy for the best European horse of private breeding and the Breeders’ Cup – Poland takes a fairly big slice from the All Nations Cup 2019 cake.

Yearling fillies

There were four Polish fillies in the show ring, of which the best performance was delivered by Janów’s AMIRATA (EKS Alihandro – Alhasa/Ganges). With a score of 91,08 she placed third and qualified for the championship.

Yearling colts

The only Polish contender, Białka and Janów Champion STAR FARID (RFI Farid – EKS Star of Africa/Marwan Al Shaqab) bred and owned by W. Parczewski, placed fourth and with a score of 90,63 qualified for the championship.

Two years old fillies

Well-known Janów’s ENCARINA (Ascot DD – Eneria/QR Marc) scored solid 92,10 and went to the championship, as well as Michałów’s PROTEKCJA (Ekstern – Pentra/Poganin). The differences in scoring were minimal - PASCUALA (Ascot DD – Palmeta/Ecaho) bred and owned by Janów Podlaski Stud received only 0,05 less than Protekcja and only 0,05 more than Michałów’s EL BELISSIMA (Ascot DD – Ekliptyka/Ekstern).

Two years old colts

ERANTIS (Ascot DD – Eugara/Om El Belissimo) bred and owned by Janów Podlaski made it to the Class Top Five.

Three years old fillies

In the large and even class three Polish fillies of three different breeders were shown. Janów’s PARANTELLA (Kahil Al Shaqab – Palanga/Ekstern) was second. ESCOTIA (Ascot DD – Emancja/WH Justice) bred by S. Sławiński and owned by A. Janas-Naze joined her in the Class Top Five.

Three years old colts

Polish National Junior Champion, AMES JR (Psytadel – Altara/Gazal Al Shaqab), bred and owned by J. Ryżkowski, placed in the Class Top Five and advanced to the championship.

4-6 years old mares

As ususal, Polish representation was particularly numerous in this class. Nine widely recognized mares entered the showring and took all top three places in the both sections (sadly, only two first places gave the championship ticket). The highest score (of all mares & fillies) – 93,83, including 6x20 for movement - was received by Janów’s ALSA (Kahil Al Shaqab – Alameda/Wachlarz), currently on lease to Ajman Stud. The second section with 93,33 points has been won by Michałów’s WILDONA (Shanghai EA – Wilda/Gazal Al Shaqab), leased by Al Sheikh Stud. Second places were taken by Janów-bred mares – PRUNELLA (Abyad AA – Pradera/Hiayyil Ramadan) owned by Suweco Stud and ANAWA (Abyad AA – Anarchia/Gazal Al Shaqab) owned by Armada Arabians. Janów’s PREGOŁA (Vitorio To – Perespa/Enzo) and Michałów’s PUSTYNIA KAHILA (Kahil Al Shaqab – Pustynna Malwa/Ekstern) were third.

Morover, CALATEON received the prestigious Special Trophy for The Best European Horse of Private Breeding.

7-10 years old mares

From the Michałów’s trio performing in this class, the highest score was granted to WIEŻA MOCY (QR Marc – Wieża Marzeń/Ekstern), who placed second in the class, losing only to the future gold medal winner, Maisa Al Nasser. Another two, PIACENZA (QR Marc – Primawera/Emigrant) owned by Al Shahania Stud, and EMANDORISSA (Abha Qatar – Emanda/Ecaho), also placed in the Class Top Five.

Championships

In the Senior Mares Championship 8 out of 10 participants were bred in Poland – therefore medal chances were high. Similar to the class results, ALSA was chosen Reserve Champion Senior Mare, while WILDONA received the bronze medal. On the top of that, EL EMANDO (QR Marc – Emanda/Ecaho) bred by Michałów Stud and owned by Stephanie Boviens, placed third in the Geldings Championship.

4th Cracow Arabian Horse Show

On the 7th and 8th of September in Michałowice near Cracow for the 4th time the Cracow Arabian Horse Show (ECAHO C-Int.) took place. Many guest exhibitors from abroad and even more local spectators were seen in a Szary Riding Club. Before halter classes, we could also cheer arabian horses under the saddle.

Geldings

Only a class (without a championship formula) was conducted. The highest score went to KORAB (Pegasus - Karbala), a pretty successful riding horse as well. The second place, thanks to a high move score, was taken by WILTON (El Gazal - Wołogda).
