AMER sires winners of
over 300 races!
With the successes
last week of KEILAN, ASRAA MIN ALBARQ and FALAK, the
story of our wonderful stallion AMER just gets better
and better. Now 24 years young, he still looks amazing
and is fully booked for the 2008 season with some superb
mares. He has now sired the winners of over 40 Group
1 Races and has many more stunning progeny waiting in
the wings. He passes on his superb conformation,
speed, temperament and, above all, the will to win.

| Sambist sold to
Gadebrook Stud |
 Sambist
has left Umm Qarn to take up stud duties at Gadebrook
Stud in Northamptonshire. Sambist played a huge
part in Umm Qarn's early success and contines to do so
with his son SAEQ having won four of his five starts in
Qatar and we wait with keen anticipation for the arrival
of his foal out of Danie du Cassou which is due in early
March.Sambist
was the greatest staying racehorse of modern times and
probably the best horse ever to have been exported from
Russia. He has it all; ability, looks,
intelligence and temperament. We hope he will be
very successful for his new owners, Alan Brooks and Anne
Brown of
Gadebrook Stud. |
