In the paddock, urge di gallura (Caligola) was over the<br />
lot physically. This colt took quickly the lead of the 2016<br />
Emirates Equestrian Federation International Stakes (Gr.<br />
II PA). He cantered in front beside the rail and nobody<br />
could come closer. For his first run outside Italy, he wins<br />
by three lengths and a first Group race. Mattia Cadrobbi,<br />
from the Italian’s breeders’ association, told us: “He is the<br />
new Zefiro de Nulvi!” Indeed, Urge di Gallura comes from<br />
the same family as the one of the best <strong>Purebred</strong> Arabians<br />
bred in Italy. shabih alreeh (Jaafer), owned by His<br />
Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani who<br />
was not very lucky during the race, finishes second. The<br />
"Shadwell" alazeez (Madjani) improves day after day and<br />
takes the third place.<br />

Endo Botti, his trainer, and Cristiana Brivio explained:<br />
“We have only been training <strong>Purebred</strong> Arabians since<br />
February only. So it is a first for us. Urge di Gallura won<br />
four races in Italy, where he is the best of his generation.<br />
He is a colt who can certainly win in maturity. Urge di<br />
Gallura is owned by Razza Latina. In the near future, we<br />
would like to have more <strong>Purebred</strong> Arabians. His<br />
performance today and the way he does it is impressive.<br />
It shows what he is capable of in Italy. For the moment, he<br />
always won easily. But he is a colt who needs to gain<br />
experience. He can still progress.” The Italian professional<br />
also placed third in a Gr. I PA in Newbury, thanks to lares<br />
de pine (Câlin du Loup).<br />
aKBar’s family<br />
Urge di Gallura was bred in Italy by Giovanna Picconi. His<br />
sire, Caligola, stands at the Sardinian National Stud. His<br />
dam, winner of two races, is a full sister to Zefiro de nulvi<br />
(Rubis de Carrère). He had started in France with Didier<br />
Guillemin, for Sergio Raffaello. He won the Trophée du<br />
Président des UAE (Gr. I PA) at Maisons-Laffitte, before<br />
being exported. Zulema, his second dam, was imported<br />
from France. She was the full sister to the great performer<br />
and then remarkable stallion akbar (Djelfor).
