Twenty-five years ago, his grandsire, Imperial Imdal, was named Egyptian Event Supreme Champion stallion for the first time, and four years later Imdal earned this title again.
Twenty years later, his sire Laheeb (Imperial Imdal x AK Latifa) was named Egyptian Event Reserve Supreme Champion stallion and, that same year, his full brother, Al Lahab (Laheeb x The Vision HG), was named Egyptian Event Supreme Champion stallion.
And this year, this year it was Al Raheb AA (Laheeb x The Vision HG) who wore the golden roses at the Kentucky Horse Park and brought home the tile of 2011 Egyptian Event Supreme Champion Stallion.
According to pedigree researcher Arlene Magid, Al Raheb AA and Al Lahab are the only full brothers to both win the Egyptian Event Supreme Stallion Championship. Just as Laheeb and Al Lahab are the only father and son to be Supreme Champion Stallions at the Egyptian Event.
We wish to warmly congratulate Muhsen Onallah, Al Raheb's proud owner; Raymond Mazzei who is currently leasing Al Raheb AA; and all the people who gave their support and help to bring this young stallion to such great achievements and success.
Following Al Raheb was this year's Reserve Supreme Champion Stallion, Gatsby CC. Gatsby CC is by our home-bred Shahir (Salaa El Dine x Imperial ImPhayana). In 2001 Gatsby competed at the Event where he was named Egyptian Event Junior Champion Colt and Reserve Supreme Champion stallion. Congratulations!
