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.
