From the Editors The world has provided new precedents again this past year in many areas, and we are all becoming accustomed to what is not in our usual comfort zone. It is time to think outside the box. That is certainly the case with this year’s Stallion Guide, which for the first time, is being combined with the official Darley Awards program and ARC Stallion Breeding Auction. By joining efforts, we are able to manage expenses while still bringing the international Arabian racing industry the digital and print publication they look forward to every year. And within its pages, the wealth of talented Arabian race breeding stallions may never have been better. We all know that there are many parts to the creation of a good racehorse, but it begins with the bloodlines. The U.S. is well represented in the pedigrees of many internationally competing horses and stallions including farms like Rosebrook Farm, Cre Run Farms, Mandolynn Hill Farm, Altitude Arabians and through the many sons and daughters of Burning Sand. We encourage you to consider breeding to the proven race stallions in the ARC Stallion Breeding Auction that represent some of the top bloodlines winning today. You will find, among others, Burning Sand, Kong, Amer and the exciting Hilal Al Zaman. Some of the best bloodlines for some of the very best prices. See your Auction Stallions and how to bid on pages 22 and 23. Thank you for being part of our journey and supporting U.S. racing by supporting the Darley Awards, the auction and this publication. It will take all of us to keep Arabian racing vibrant, but we can if we lean in.

Stay safe and see you on the rail.

How to Read a Race Record

In the U.S., race records for Arabians are commonly written as follows: 1/6(1-2-3)1-2, $99,999. These numbers mean, left to right: 1 - the number of years the horse raced 6 - the total number of starts 1 - the total number of first place finishes 2 - the total number of second place finishes 3 - the total number of third place finishes 1 - the total number of stakes wins 2 - the total number of stakes places (second or third place finishes) $99,999 - total earnings

Stakes Races Definitions

A stakes race is short for “sweepstakes” and defined as a race in which owners pay a fee to nominate, enter and run their horses. To attract the best possible eligible runners by increasing the total purse, “added money” is put up by the track racing association or sponsor. Nominations are usually taken months in advance of the race and entries close at least 72 hours before the running of the race. In the U.S., stakes races are further defined by quality as determined by a graded-stakes committee as grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, and listed stakes races. In other countries, the equivalent are called group 1, group 2, group 3, and listed stakes races. In all cases, grade/group 1 races are the most prestigious (and often have the highest prize money) followed by grade/group 2, grade/group 3 and listed stakes races. 25 • Darley Awards Stallion Guide * Arabian Finish Line/Horsereporter • 2022

DAVENPORTS AND THE DARLEY AWARDS:

THE ENDURING INFLUENCE OF A STORIED IMPORTATION By Tobi Lopez Taylor tobi.lopez.taylor@gmail.com Of the 18 nominees for the 2021 Darley Awards, all but one have something in common: they descend from a group of horses brought to the U.S. more than a century ago by political cartoonist and Arabian horse breeder Homer Davenport, one of the founders of the Arabian Horse Club of America (now known as the Arabian Horse Association). Davenport, born in Oregon in 1867, was a lifelong horse fancier who finally came face to face with Arabians at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. He recalled being transfixed by their “big sparkling eyes and gracefully carried tails.” In 1906, with the diplomatic aid of President Theodore Roosevelt, Davenport realized his dream of owning Arabians. He traveled to what was then the Ottoman Empire and purchased twenty-seven head, a journey he chronicled in his book, My Quest of the Arabian Horse. His breeding stock has had a profound impact on Arabian horses in the U.S.—even though Davenport died at age 45, a mere six years after his landmark importation. Fortunately, his breeding program was continued by his friend Peter Bradley, who had financed Davenport’s trip. A number of early-twentieth-century breeders, such as F. E. Lewis and W. K. Kellogg, acquired Davenport horses for use in their own programs. In fact, according to Robert Cadranell, between 1925 and 1945, the Kellogg Ranch “owned, bred, or acted as agents in the sale of no fewer than 45 horses” of 100 percent Davenport bloodlines. Today, the Davenport Arabian Horse Conservancy continues to promote public awareness of these horses and their importer.

Three well-known Davenport stallions appear in the pedigrees of many of this year’s Darley nominees. The desert-bred stallion *Muson was ridden by Buffalo Bill in his Wild West Show. Jadaan became famous as Rudolph Valentino’s mount in the 1926 film The Son of the Sheik. And Hanad (*Deyr x Sankirah) was the star of the Kellogg Sunday Shows, performing feats like standing on a pedestal, doing the Spanish Walk, and even jumping rope. The first stallion of all-Davenport bloodlines to make a mark on Arabian horse racing (in both the United States and Poland) was Antez (Harara x Moliah). Bred by F. E. Lewis, Antez was later owned by Kellogg, who used him for breeding and also as a riding horse. In 1930, Kellogg sold Antez to breeder General J. M. Dickinson. Dickinson had become interested in the Polish State Studs’ use of racing as a method of evaluating breeding stock. After purchasing Antez, he ran the 12-year-old stallion in a series of time trials. Despite his inexperience as a racehorse, Antez equaled the Arabian world record for the half-mile. In 1934, Dickinson sold Antez to the Arab Horse Breeders Society of Poland. While in that country, Antez sired 11 registered foals (two of them were exported to the U.S). Of the nine that remained in Poland, a filly named Ukrainka was a race winner, a colt named Haschim Bey won the 1940 wartime Polish Derby, and an unraced filly named Oda III produced Verona, winner of the 1946 Polish Oaks. Antez’s son *Latif, imported from Poland in utero, is in the pedigrees of many stakes winners, including Ben Hib Ku, U.S. National Champion Racehorse, and Tiki Tessar, a Racing Hall of Fame inductee.

After being sent back to the U.S. in 1938, Antez sired a colt named Sartez (x Saraf), advertised as “The World’s Fastest Arabian,” owing to the numerous speed records he was said to hold. These ranged from 220 yards to 1 ½ miles. A 1947 article in the Albuquerque Tribune noted that “Sartez ran a 50.1-second half-mile that bettered the Arabian horse half-mile world record by nine tenths of a second. The previous mark…was set by Sir Hugh in Singapore in 1844 and tied by [Sartez’s sire] Antez in 1933.” In the late 1950s, the Arabian Horse Owners Foundation, spearheaded by Bazy Tankersley of Al-Marah Arabians, arranged to hold the first official (exhibition) Arabian races in the U.S., at Laurel Park and Pimlico in Maryland, and Tropical Park and Hialeah in Florida. One of the winners of these pioneering races was the colt Michael (Raffey x Abuseyna), who clocked 2 ½ miles in 4:51 4/5 and defeated the well-known American-bred Ofir (a grandson of the Polish Ofir). Michael—a descendant of the previously mentioned movie horse Jadaan— ran for three seasons and compiled a record of three wins and a second from four starts, at a time when races were few and far between. Another Davenport-related track star from that era was The Electrician (Bacaram x Pampanga), owned by John Rogers, who would go on to establish the Arabian Horse Racing Association. Earlier in his career, The Electrician—whose pedigree included *Muson, Buffalo Bill’s mount—had been a foxhunter and a successful show jumper before he turned to racing. In September

1960, running in the 2 9/16-mile Arabian Special at Timonium in Maryland, this 15.2-hand gelding added to his laurels, prevailing decisively over a field of six. Rogers owned another horse of Davenport breeding who blew away his competition in 1960. His gelding Ankthor (Ankar x *Thorayyah)—a grandson of Antez—tied for first (with a Mustang) in that year’s 100mile Tevis Cup ride. Their ride time was more than two hours faster than the previous record. With the start of the modern era in American Arabian racing in 1967—when the first parimutuel races were held at Evangeline Downs in Louisiana and Phoenix’s Turf Paradise—came a number of Davenport-related racing champions. At the top of the list from this time period is Kontiki (Camelot x Almiki), whose pedigree includes a dozen of Davenport’s imported horses. A U.S. National Champion Racehorse and Arabian Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Kontiki was defeated only once—by *Orzel—in his storied career. Although his life was cut short at age 10, and he sired just 23 foals, Kontiki left an indelible mark on Arabian racehorse breeding worldwide. His descendants dominated American tracks in the 1970s and 1980s. One standout was his son Tiki Sahiber Ku (x Meteors Sahiba Ku), a three-time U.S. National Champion Racehorse. The

latter went on to sire top horses like the stakes winner Tikisflaming Jet (x Flaming Emotion)—who set a track record for 1 ½ miles at Tampa Bay Downs—and his full brother, the stakes-winning Flaming Streak. Another grandson of Kontiki, By Golly (Juan de Shawn x Molly-R), set multiple track records, was named 1984 U.S. Racehorse of the Year, and appears in the pedigrees of more recent champions. In addition, stakes winner and noted sire Sam Tiki, out of the Hall of Fame mare Kyla Tiki, by Kontiki, was named to the Hall of Fame in 2000. It isn’t just stallions like Kontiki that have continued the Davenport legacy. The Hall of Fame mare Monat (Moneyn x Tezeyna)—a great-granddaughter of Antez and a cornerstone of Stanley and Robbie Kubela’s breeding program—founded an influential family that includes stars like the aforementioned Kyla Tiki and By Golly, as well as the Hall of Fame mare Samcherie and MD Blue Chip and Triple Five, both named Darley Horse of the Year. And to show that Monat transmitted more than racing ability, her grandson Serazim sired Vermiculus, an Anglo-Arabian gelding who named to the 2018 U.S. World Equestrian Games three-day event team, as well as his full brother Snooze Alarm, who competed at the four-star level in eventing.

28 • Darley Awards Stallion Guide * Arabian Finish Line/Horsereporter • 2022

It’s no surprise that Davenport descendants have excelled in a myriad of disciplines that require a high level of athleticism, endurance, and trainability, such as endurance riding and grand prix dressage. To cite two recent examples, the 2021 Tevis Cup winner, Treasured Moments (DA Adios x Hidden Treasure), who won on the track before turning to endurance, is a great-granddaughter of Serazim, mentioned above as a sire of eventers. And Crescendos Allegro, 2021 U.S. National Champion Dressage Horse at the Arabian Sport Horse Nationals, has a pedigree filled with horses that arrived in this country courtesy of Homer Davenport. In the years since the Darley Awards were established, back in 1987, Davenport-related horses have taken home over 60 percent of the Darley Horse of the Year awards. (That percentage could be even higher if the other Darley categories, totaling hundreds of horses, were analyzed.) Furthermore, many contemporary leading sires—such as Burning Sand, TM Fred Texas, Grilla, TH Richie, and Vazs Mane Son—continue to perpetuate these treasured bloodlines. As Arabian horse authority Carol Woodbridge Mulder wrote about Davenport, “Time and history have proven that this man was, without question, one of the most important and essential of the turn-of-the-century American Arabian horse fanciers; his beneficial influence has been far reaching in both scope and extended time.”

Tobi Lopez Taylor is a former columnist for Arabian Finish Line, an award-winning writer and editor, and the author of two books on the horses of Ed Tweed’s Brusally Ranch. She is currently at work on two more books: one on Antez (with Teresa Rogers) and one about *Naborr.

In Memoriam Renee Lafleur-Diaz

June 26, 1981 – September 6, 2021 The Texas Arabian Breeders Association (TABA), alongside the entire Arabian racing community, mourns the sudden passing of a dear friend, Renee LeFleur-Diaz. Renee was a proud Texan. She was born in Connecticut on June 26, 2981, but “she got here as fast as she could,” says TABA Board Member Sam Vasquez with a chuckle. During her elementary school years, Renee moved to Texas with her mother, Myriah “Mary” Orrick. With a love for animals from a young age, Renee trained show dogs in her youth, and it carried over into horses later when she began training Arabian race horses in 2003 in Texas. Later, she added Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses to her string, but Arabians remained her passion and mainstay breed. She trained for several prominent owners including Sam Vasquez, Dianne Waldron, Ray and Jane Teutsch, Michelle Morgan and many others. Throughout her career, Renee trained to a total earnings of $697,300 and 1,003 lifetime starts (70-81-115) including recent back-to-back wins in the Texas Yellow Rose Stakes (Gr 3) with RB Feel The Burn and the Texas Six-Shooter Stakes (Gr 3) with RB Rich Lyke Me this past February. In fact, Renee was experiencing her career-best year in 2021 with an impressive 23% win rate and 31% Win/Place/Show rate. Renee and her husband, Antonio “Tony” Diaz, lived in Rockdale, Texas, and dedicated their lives to the horse racing community in Texas and throughout the United States. Tony serves as a respected farrier to all Texas tracks, while Renee served as the Arabian breed representative to the same tracks. Renee also joined the TABA board in 2014 and was an active participant in promoting Arabian horse racing in Texas. She is survived by her husband, Tony Diaz, and her mother, Mary Orrick.

Renee Lafleur-Diaz (center) had one of her best years racing in 2021 prior to her untimely passing. 32 • Darley Awards Stallion Guide * Arabian Finish Line/Horsereporter • 2022

Burning Sand Top Sire Again

Burning Sand (San Lou Romirz x Du Smaagda) continues his dominance as Arabian racing’s leading sire. He topped the rankings once again by earnings and number of wins. His leading earners were multiple Darley Champions Pad dys Day and Uptown Sandy Girl. Majd Al Arab, who stands in France, finished second by both earnings and number of wins. His leading earner was RB Rich Lyke Me. In a tight contest of leading broodmare sire by earnings, TH Richie (Calin Du Loup x Char Rich Louise) topped Burning Sand by a little over $4,000 with $145,447. It was Burning Sand, how ever, that edged out TH Richie for number of wins. His 63 producing daughers had 18 starters, 7 winners and 10 wins compared to TH Richie’s 11 producing daughters who had 8 starters, 7 win ners and 9 wins.

2021 ARAC Wathba Stallions Cup Series 10 July 2021 - Pleasanton - While the heat index in the area hovered at 107 F degrees, AA Rich Whiskey under Cristobal Herrera was all business. The five-year-old mare stalked leader Pockit Rockit around the first turn until catching fire on the way home as RB Hashtag challenged for the lead but did not have quite enough room at the end. AA Rich Whiskey is by TH Richie x Salsa Dancer CS by Line Dancer and is owned and trained by Howard Rubin. RB Hashtag, under Pedro Terrero, came second running ahead of AA Pockit Rockit finishing third. The winning time was 1:13:93 for the 5 ½ furlongs on the dirt. 13 August 2021 – Golden Gate Fields - The Wathba Stallions Cup at Golden Gate Fields (Sonoma Fair Racing) brought a second win in the series by AA Rich Whiskey (TH Richie x Salsa Dancer CS, by Line Dancer) under Kevin Orozco for owner/trainer Howard Rubin. RB Hashtag sprang strongly from the gate and was only bested by the mare AA Rich Whiskey at the 1/8 pole, leaving the filly Dreamm with third. The five-year-old now has a career record of 15(2-2-3). The winning time for the 5 ½ furlongs was 1:13:33. 16 October – The third and final race of the series was held in Fresno on 16 October and cemented a very good first season for RB Hashtag (Nashwan Al Khalidiah x Hesster, by Dahess) ridden by Pedro Terrero. This was the three-year-old colt’s second win from five starts in 2021 with trainer Terri Eaton and his first win at the Wathba Stallions Cup. RB Hashtag is owned by Michael Gomez. RB Hashtag set the pace early on and had a clear lead through the stretch winning handily, although the filly Dreamm kept up a good charge until just before the end. Naughty Greylinda came third. The winning time for the 5 ½ F was 1:12: 38. Cory Soltau, General Manager of ARAC, said: “We want to thank the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival for continuing with the Wathba Stallion Cup series that has helped support our California Arabian races for so many seasons.”

PROOF+/ died in 2013, but luckily for the breeding industry frozen semen remains available for this great Pure Polish stallion. He retired with a race record of 14 wins, (10 stakes) 5 seconds and a third from 22 starts with earnings of $191,253, Darley Horse of the Year twice, Darley Champion Older Horse, Darley Champion 4-Year-Old Colt, and Racing Hall of Fame member. Amazingly, he is still a relevant stallion being the sire of 2021 Darley nominee for 3-Year-Old Colt/Gelding Four Hundred Proof AA (out of Tri Silkie Sands, by Burning Sand, 5(1-3-0)0-1, $16,120, 2nd Texas Lone Star Juvenile S. (Gr 3)). He has sired many sound, durable stakes winners, including his leading earner, SEY SPOTTSPROOF (started 96 times in 9 years, $204,043), as well as SEYVILLA PROOF (18 wins (8 stakes) in 28 starts, $173,635), SEY ELLION PROOF (53 starts in 5 years of racing, $124,528), SEYVILLA BASPROOF (44 starts over 4 years, $106,179), CANNON EXPRESS (58 starts in 5 years, $89,137) and SS DAWN TREADER (11 wins, $73,777). He has been among the leading broodmare sire by earnings. He is the broodmare sire of multiple Darley Champion EASTER MAN and grade 1 stakes winner BURNING FLEET (5 wins, $91,108). NF Proof is by the imported Polish stallion *Bataann, sire of HARASSMENT (multiple stakes winner) and NF RISK (1st Michigan Arabian Cup Open, etc.) among his 17 winners. His dam *Szalka is the dam of five other stakes horses, HARASSMENT, NF Dead Cert, NF Bolt, NF Smokescreen and Batraz. His female family, like fellow Racing Hall of Fame member MONARCH AH, is the incredible "S" line tracing to the foundation mare SABELLINA, who is the dam of SANTA (dam of SANTOS and *SASANKA). Stud fee: $2,500, frozen semen only Nominations: Arabian Racing Cup, Breeders’ Sweepstakes Frozen semen available through Seyvilla Arabians Breeder: Nodoroma Arabians Inquiries to: Anne Seymour, 850-859-2808, seyvilla@embarqmail.com 47 • Darley Awards Stallion Guide * Arabian Finish Line/Horsereporter • 2022
