I woke up in Beirut this morning to good news from Yasser from his countryside house in the Nile Delta. My Khallawiyah mare Bint Rammah just foaled a well-built filly by Batal al Zaman. Yasser and I are partners on the filly. Yasser’s photo. We will name her Jawaher Al Arab. Her older sister was already Jawharah (jewel), and she is jewels in the plural, so Jawaher. Yasser and I carefully selected Batal al Zaman for his pedigree (a very simple pedigree, old EAO-lines only, and low Nazeer) and his outstanding racing record in Egypt. He is by Ibn Dahsha (Wasel x Dahsha by Adeeb, tf Bint Radia) out of Saddeeqah (Adawy x Eetimad by Mourad, Farida tf).
