Two photos of Darak upon departure from his old home and arrival to this new one. Top photo by Marion Wassilewski, bottom photo by Jeanne Crousaud. Darak, bred by Danah stud is so rich in the Kuhaylan Jallabi blood, even by Bahraini standards. His sire is Jellaby Radad, his dam’s sire is Jellaby Mojaahid M151, and his granddam’s sire is Jellaby Alasil 274. Also, the maternal grandsire of his sire, Jellaby Kher M45, is a personal favorite. Darak is also notable in that he traces three times and rather closely, to the 1958 stallion Mlolshaan Almarshoosh M37 (photo below). He also traces six times to Hamdaany Riyadh, a gift stallion from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Sh. Mohammed bin Salman Aal Khalifah in the 1960s. Hamdaany Riyadg could have added a second sireline in Bahraini but unfortunately it didn’t happen.
Lyman sent me this photo of Jellaby Maroof M30 from one of the later Bahraini studbooks. My kind of Arabian stallion. Maroof is the maternal brother of Jellaby Radad, who is the sire of my Hamdaany Darak and Lyman’s Hamdaany Daneer. Daneer is coming to the USA.
