Power World JQ
Power World JQ Power World JQ With the second generation of his breeding program in place, Dr. Jorge began searching for the next important name, and he found it in the classic Haras dos Faveiros cross—World Series on a Don El Chall mare. “I wanted to enhance World Series’ refinement and produce longer legs,” he says, his rationale in the match that produced Power World JQ. “So I decided to cross him with an Egyptian mare, and I chose Noble Illusion JP, who had been given to me as gift by J.P. Martins. She is by Anaza Maruf, but she is not a Straight Egyptian mare; she has 25 percent Gainey blood, domestic American.” It was as if history was repeating itself. “When Power World was born, I looked at him and thought, ‘oh, my gosh!’ He really was an Arabian horse—so beautiful, with long legs, a long neck—oh my god, that’s my horse. Then I called Leopoldo and was so excited—I was saying, ‘Come see him! A wonderful colt has just been born!’” Power World JQ was blazing from the start. Foaled January 24, 2001, he came out in the show ring as a yearling and won everything he entered, finishing the season as the unanimous Brazilian National Champion Colt. In 2004, he was named Brazilian National Champion Young Stallion. “The first time Rodolfo took him to the show, he was junior champion,” Jorge remembers. “He never got reserve until his last year. He was always first.”

More importantly, his sons and daughters immediately hit the winners’ circle as well. “The first crop of babies we showed, we got champion and reserve,” says Rodolfo Guzzo. “Jairo was best breeder and exhibitor, and Power World won Get of Sire. That was the beginning of Power World JQ, and it was amazing.” “I was so excited and happy,” admits Jorge. “I knew I had found my stallion. From the first four foals that were born, we had produced three national champions.” It was the first time he was honored as the top breeder at the Brazilian Nationals, a title he would repeat in 2007. Power World JQ also would win Get of Sire again. In all five years of his stud career to date, Power World JQ has sired multiple Brazilian national champions. One colt, Cesar Schmidt de Oliveira’s HK Keav Power, and a filly, Luciano Cury’s Seduction HBV, have racked up the highest scores in the Breeders Cup as well. And all those honors only begin the stallion’s record. Increasingly, his get are being sold abroad, where the list of international titles is growing. “Two different breeders, different mares, different foals,” Jorge notes of the Breeders Cup champions. That is a point of pride for him: Power World JQ’s success is coming in a broad wave; Haras dos Faveiros produces its share, but the widespread positive response to the stallion has ensured a diversity of breeders, bloodlines, mares and foals. The marketing performance of the Power World JQ get even in a turbulent economy also tells the story—at the
