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

CH’EZZA is presented with 5 wins and 1 win + 2 G1 placings at Group 1/top level, with a documented distance profile of 2,000 m. 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 AF Albahar × Cherazade by Dormane cross is the starting point of this profile. The recurring names AF Albahar, Amer, Dormane, Manganate become routes through the archive — not a mathematical promise of performance.

03

Why this profile belongs here

The lesson that remains

CH’EZZA shows how AF Albahar’s Amer branch can combine with Dormane and the Cherifa family to produce international turf class over 2,000 metres.

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

Djelmila / Cherifa branch

Majd Al Arab, Tayf and Mushrae follow the Djelmila branch, Falaah reaches the family through Djelifa and Zenhobie, and CH’EZZA is directly out of Cherazade by Dormane and Cherifa. The connection shows how one documented female family can express itself through different sires, countries and surfaces.

Bloodline Story

AF Albahar × Dormane

CH’EZZA is by AF Albahar, a son of Amer and Al Hanouf, out of Cherazade by Dormane. The next mare is Cherifa, placing him directly in the wider family also found behind Majd Al Arab, Tayf and several other archive profiles. The mating combines Amer paternally with Dormane, Manganate and Cherifa on the female side. It is a powerful performance pattern, but any future breeding value must still be confirmed through documented progeny.

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.
