HAATEF’S half sister SHIMAH won the Listed Saoire Stakes and was second in the G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes in 2008. ELNADIM…..ELNAWIN…..ELNADIM…..ELNAWIN ELNADIM’S ELNAWIN broke the two year old tack record at Kempton when he battled his way home to take the G3 Sirenia Stakes. In a breath- taking finish, ELNAWIN hung on to beat Square Eddie by a head despite his jockey dropping the reins. This smart son of ELNADIM out of the Night Shift mare ACICULA, previously won the valuable Doncaster £300,000 St Leger Yearling Stakes when beating the useful Bonnie Char- lie (Intikhab) by a comfortable two lengths. He has now won three of his £300,000 St Leger Yearling four starts so far. PASAR SILBANO ran away with the Sportsman’s Challenge over six furlongs at the Curragh at the end of September. This useful filly had previously landed the Listed Curragh Stakes at the same venue in July. She won her first two outings in Dun- dalk and was also placed in Listed company in May. Also at the Curragh on the same day, another daughter of ELNADIM, homebred ALMASS, won a very competitive conditions race over seven furlongs and went on to win the Listed Navigation Stakes by an impressive four and a half lengths and Listed Knockaire Stakes by an easy four lengths on her most recent out- ing at Leopardstown, she will most likely be aimed at the Gladness stakes. MULTIPLE Group success for Shadwell with Naaqoos, TAMAYUZ, ALWAJEEHA, Watar (Marju) etc... NAAQOOS (right) was a very impressive winner of the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp on the second day of the Arc weekend. He soon pulled his way to the front and held off challenges from MILANAIS and INTENSE FOCUS to win by a neck. NAAQOOS could definitely be something very special as he showed he has plenty of speed together with a very powerful stride. He is a two year old son of Oasis Dream and will be one horse to look forward to during his three year old campaign which could include the 2000 Guineas or the French equivalent in 2009. ALWAJEEHA took the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes at Keeneland in Oc- tober. This filly, also bred by Shadwell, won her maiden at two and also took the G3 Appala- chian Stakes before finishing second in the G2 Lake George Handicap and Tropical Oaks. She is now most likely to be retired to the Shadwell Farm broodmare band. WATAR, a strapping son of our own MARJU, was also successful on the first day of a highly anticipated Arc weekend. Having won in Listed company this year, he took his chance in the G2 Prix Chaudenay and won by an easy five lengths. WATAR made a strong run and was leading in the final 200 metres when he drew clear from old rival SHEMIMA. TAMAYUZ won both the G1 Prix Jean Prat & G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois in 2008 and will stand at Derrinstown for the 2009 Breeding Season. Other notable runners this month included TAZEEZ, winner of the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket and homebred SHAKIS, second in the G1 Shadwell Mile and more recently winner of the G2 Bernard Baruch Handicap at Saratoga for the second consecutive year.
