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.
