As there was no class for three-year-old colts, the two-year-olds and yearlings were among themselves. Gold went to the two-year-old winner Jason S, bred and owned by Jürgen Schäfer. He is one of several very successful colts sired by the premium stallion Major, and out of Jakaranda T who is by Kubinec out of the straight Egyptian Ansata Faye Jamila. The silver medal winner was the yearling Alikar, who was a champion foal last year and has been doing well this season as well. He is a son of Alishaar El Bri, an El Shaklan grandson by the U.S.-bred CH El Brillo. Alikar’s dam is Nakarta by Narym (by Balaton). Bronze went to another previous foal winner, two-year-old straight Egyptian Authentic Mahab, an Al Lahab son who won at the Asil Cup last year. Despite the handicap of having been born late in the year, he has been doing well against colts nearly a year older than he.
