British Contenders in the Arc - 2003  

THE BRITISH CONTENDERS

Mubtaker
Arrived in France “relatively fresh”. Has impressed at lower level. His win at Kempton earlier this year has shown is considerable potential and has impressed more than one. He has always finished in the first three and faces a tough challenge in keeping that record intact. His trainer would have preferred faster ground but remains confident in his potential to make the podium.

Black Sam Bellamy
Does he have the potential to stay all the way and win? His present record does not inspire such confidence that will put him first at the post. Enjoys soft ground and is likely to come from the back as pacemakers fade.

High Chaparral
Defeated at Longchamp last year, he comes back for a second bite of the cherry. Top-class contender, he ed after injury to his shoulder to win the Irish Champion Stakes a month ago. Runner-up in that race, Falbrav went on to win the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in impressive style. The distance of 1m4f suits him well. Although he stands a very good chance of taking his revenge this year, he will have to fight all the way to win against the French contender Dalakhani.

Bollin Eric
The four-year-old, who has won just one of his seven starts this season, was a surprise entry for the Group One race, run over 1m 4f. Last year's St Leger winner has run creditably all year but the missing ingredient has been soft ground, which he will get at Longchamp. Has shown great consistency and has won at York with a lot of authority. Although he inspires confidence as a reliable performer, he lacks the class at this level to finish first in Arc.

Kris Kin
Since his Derby win, Kris Kin has also finished third to Alamshar in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot but Fallon felt there were excuses for that run. Described as “one of the laziest horses I have ever trained” by trainer Stoute, his connections see him as a potential winner, he does not seem to be the reliable sort and will not have much say at Longchamp.

Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe 2003
The love story - SOUMILLON/ DALAKHANI
 

Dalakhani has proved that he is a real Champion after his thrilling finish in the 82nd running of the Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp. Drawn in stall 14, his task was not meant to be easy but the French Derby winner, ridden in impressive style by a young and motivated Soumillon, resisted a courageous attack from Mubtaker to score in Europe’s biggest Championship race. High Chaparral, which carried high hopes, finished third for the second consecutive year. 22-year old Soumillon could hardly contain his emotions after this performance. He said, “It’s a race I wanted to win throughout my apprenticeship and its unbelievable to ride a horse like him. He is a real champion and I love him so much.” Following at the back of the field, he left Diyapour set the pace as predicted. Soumillon never pressured him. The Aga Khan-owned Dalakhani showed his class as he poured on the pace, despite the soft ground, and claimed victory by three quarters of a length. Mubtaker, ridden by an inspired Richard Hills, who surged in the lead first upon turning home, could not resist Dalakhani’s assault and finished a remarkable second. Marcus Tregoning promised to be back next year. The Aga Khan won his third Arc. Frankie Dettori who was bidding for a third consecutive success in the Arc finished a disappointing fourth on Doyen. Kris Kin was never a threat in the race and finished way back in the field.

After AKIYDA in 1982 and SINNDAR in 2000, the champion DALAKHANI (Darshaan- Daltawa- Miswaki) gave a third Arc de Triomphe'prize to the colours and breeding of Prince Karim Aga Khan. After Criterium International in 2002 and the Lupin and Jockey-Club prizes last spring it is the fourth group I victory for the training stable of Alain de Royer Dupré, which wins his first Arc' at the same time as the jockey Christophe Soumillon.
In fact, in nine outings up to today, DALAKHANI has only met defeat once against his companion under the same colours, ALAMSHAR, in the Irish Derby. While the latter has just been sold and will officiate as stallion in 2004, it is to be hoped that DALAKHANI will be kept in training and will attempt in the 2000 Arc' a double that non thoroughbred has achieved since ALLEGED in 1977 and 1978.

Starring Sakhee - 2001  

Brillant winner of Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (group1, 2400 meters) in Longchamps, after he already gave a great feeling this summer in York in the International Stakes (group1, 2100 meters), SAKHEE walks on to the Breeder's Cup, taking place on saturday 17 october, on the "Belmont Prak" in New York.
Of course he will be there one of the two major trumps of Godolphin Stable, with FANTASTIC LIGHT, the one who defeated the champion of the european three years old, GALILEO, in the Irish Champion Stakes.

The mark of RIVERMAN

A four years old today, SAKHEE was bred in the Shadwell Stud of Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. As three years old already, he showed a lot of talent: he got a second place behind the number one of zhe european season 2000, SINNDAR, in the Derby of Epsom.
He is a son of champion miler BAHRI ( RIVERMAN and WASNAH, NIJINSKY) a stallion at Shadwell Farm, where his fee reached 25'000US $ at that time. BAHRI has been nominated "bets european miler", as a winner of Saint James's Palace Stakes, and the Queen Elisabeth II Stakes, two "group I" raced on the Ascot racecourse. SAKHEE belongs to the first crop of BAHRI, a stallion who is getting amazing results as a beginner at stud.
THAWAKIB, mother of SAKHEE, is a daughter of top sire SADLER'S WELLS and the second dam is mare out of RIBOT. She was herself a good horse, as a winner of Ribbelsdale Stakes, a group II on the classic distance and coveted through the best british fillies. She is as well half-sister of the excellent CELESTIAL SROM (ROBERTO), winner of Princess of Wales's Stakes (groupII) and second of St Leger, Champion Stakes, and "King George", al races considered as "group I".

SAKHEE is the third product of THAWAKIB, first two are winner: one is NASHEED, a daughter of RIVERMAN (it means she is out of the same outcross as her famous half-brother SAKHEE) a winner of a listed race on 2000 meters at 3 y.o. in Newbury.

  • La formule magique (?)
    Le sang de NEVER BEND, 4x vainqueur de l'Arc par sa descendance : RIVERMAN + MILLREEF (ses fils), DETROIT + GOLD RIVER + SAKHEE, petits fils et arrière petit-fils.

  • RIBOT, le champion italien des années cinquante, est le père de la deuxième mère de SHAKEE (Tobira Celeste). RIBOT et SHAKEE ont tous deux dominé l'Arc de 6 longueurs... une performance égalée seulement par des cracks de la trempe de SEA BIRD(!!!) au cours des dernières décénies.

  • SADLER'S WELLS (qui était représenté trois fois dans ce "turf classic" à la française) n'a pas bien réussi avec ses deux fils Milan (5e) et Saddler's Creek (16e), mais il se console grâce à sa fille THAWAKIB figurant au programme comme la mère de SAKHEE.
