NAfEES fLIES STRAIGHT TO GROUP<br />
LEvEL<br />
Coming from his debut win at Mont-de-Marsan on the 1st<br />
October, Nafees (Azadi) established that he is still<br />
improving by winning the French Arabian Breeders’<br />
Challenge des Poulains (Gr. II PA). This was his first win at<br />
Group PA level. The colt is trained by Charles Gourdain<br />
on behalf of the Royal Stables of Oman and he clearly<br />
appreciated the soft ground at Toulouse racecourse.<br />
As in the Qatar Total Arabian Trophy des Poulains (Gr. I<br />
PA) at Saint-Cloud at the end of September, Dahham<br />
(Mahabb) didn’t live up to his excellent form from the<br />
beginning of the year. He went in front, on an easy lead,<br />
but weakened rapidly once in the straight. Nafees came<br />
with his run up the rail, taking the advantage over Al<br />
Mounteze Monlau (Nashwan Al Khalidiah) who had sat<br />
in behind Dahham on the pace and who managed to<br />
hold second place from barnamaj (No Risk Al Maury).<br />
Second in the Qatar Arabian Trophy des Poulains and<br />
second favourite in the race, Zikreet (Dahess) finished in<br />
fourth place. The latter never looked comfortable and<br />
was unable to take a place on the podium.<br />

AN IMPROvING COLT WHO SHOULD STAy<br />
fURTHER<br />
Charles Gourdain was clearly delighted: “This is a<br />
wonderful win, especially for owners such as the Royal<br />
Stables of Oman, who have put a lot of trust in me. Nafees<br />
impressed me today, finishing with plenty in hand. He<br />
beat good horses easily. I thought that Valentin Seguy<br />
rode very well, economically, and gave him a fluent race.<br />
The horse like the ground and I think that he will stay<br />
further.”<br />

THE fAMILy Of vITELLA<br />
Nafees comes from the exciting first generations bred by<br />
The Royal Stables of Oman. His sire Azadi (Darike) didn’t<br />
cover big books of mares initially, but that didn’t stop him<br />
regularly producing good horses. Nafees is the only foal<br />
out of vivamaria (Njewman) registered with France<br />
Galop. The latter was in training with Robert Litt in<br />
England, and was 4th in the Prix Nefta (Gr. II PA) at<br />
Toulouse. This is one of the good families from the Plantin<br />
stock, that of vitella (Njewman), winner of The Abu Dhabi<br />
International Championship and The French Arabian<br />
Breeders’ Cup Classic at Toulouse (Gr. I PAs). Vite Amine,<br />
the dam of Nafees, was second in the Prix du Sultanat<br />
d’Oman, beaten only by Ouragan du Cayrou (Dormane).<br />
Nafees had the right to run well at this track.
