Career Story

Performance in context.

Six wins and five track records · published US historical record.

Rahba’s historical profile records BURNING SAND with six wins and five track records, including six furlongs in 1:17 at Delaware Park. A published US pedigree record gives eleven lifetime starts and $24,596 in earnings, but because modern databases do not present one complete, consistent record, the totals are labelled as historically published rather than a current authority consolidation.

Distance profile: US dirt sprint programme · historical record

The archive focuses on the results that define the horse’s international profile. Complete race records and current status should always be checked with the responsible racing authority.

Research dossier

Three ways to read the profile.

Race record, family and practical relevance are read together — never as isolated headlines.

01

Read the race record

Results in context

BURNING SAND is presented with 6 wins, with a documented distance profile of US dirt sprint programme · historical record. Those figures become meaningful only when read with where, when and against whom the results were achieved.

02

Read the pedigree

Family before fashion

The San Lou Romirz × Du Smaragda by Azlaf Azjdib cross is the starting point of this profile. The recurring names San Lou Romirz, Mirzaz, Du Smaragda, Azlaf Azjdib become routes through the archive — not a mathematical promise of performance.

03

Why this profile belongs here

The lesson that remains

BURNING SAND is SA NOOR’s maternal grandsire through Sand Spirit. The link provides documented performance context two generations back, but SA NOOR and every future mating must be assessed through their own qualities, health and the female family’s actual production.

Pedigree

Documented pedigree and family map.

The documented cross should be read alongside female-family production, soundness, distance and surface. A name in a pedigree is a clue — never a guarantee.

Only names supported by the editorial research or a linked primary source are displayed. Missing generations are never filled with assumptions.

Female family

BURNING SAND performance network

BURNING SAND is followed both as the direct sire of TM Fred Texas and Paddys Day and as broodmare sire in profiles such as RB Burn and TM Thunder Struck. The network shows influence across generations, but every individual must still be read through its own dam and race record.

Bloodline Story

San Lou Romirz × Azlaf Azjdib

BURNING SAND was by San Lou Romirz out of Du Smaragda by Azlaf Azjdib. His later importance appears through documented progeny such as TM Fred Texas and Paddys Day, and as broodmare sire of RB Burn and TM Thunder Struck. For our own programme the connection is close but maternal: SA NOOR is out of Sand Spirit, a daughter of BURNING SAND. That makes him her maternal grandsire — a relevant two-generation signal, not a promise of what SA NOOR or her offspring will automatically achieve.

The documented cross should be read alongside female-family production, soundness, distance and surface. A name in a pedigree is a clue — never a guarantee.

Breeding Insight

Pedigree. Performance. Purpose.

As a stallion or gelding reference, the profile shows which performance traits can be studied in the line. Race results do not automatically prove breeding value; offspring, female families, health and compatibility must also be assessed.

BURNING SAND is SA NOOR’s maternal grandsire through Sand Spirit. The link provides documented performance context two generations back, but SA NOOR and every future mating must be assessed through their own qualities, health and the female family’s actual production.
