Career Story
Dubai Kahayla Classic G1 PA · 2026.
Falaah sold for €20,000 as a two-year-old at the 2020 Arqana Purebred Arabian Sale. After two starts in France and a period in Qatar, he improved markedly on dirt in Oman and the UAE. The Emirates Racing Authority records nine wins from 22 starts, eight of them on dirt, together with AED 2,713,700 and a rating of 126. He finished second in the 2023 Al Maktoum Challenge R1 G1 PA and fifth in the 2024 Dubai Kahayla Classic. His top-level breakthrough came in 2026: first the Al Maktoum Challenge R3 G1 PA over 2,000 metres, then the Dubai Kahayla Classic G1 PA, where he overcame a wide trip to catch Muraad late in 2:17.32.
Distance profile: 1,600–2,000 m
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
Race record, family and practical relevance are read together — never as isolated headlines.
Read the race record
FALAAH is presented with 9 wins and 2 wins + G1 runner-up at Group 1/top level, with a documented distance profile of 1,600–2,000 m. Those figures become meaningful only when read with where, when and against whom the results were achieved.
Read the pedigree
The AF Albahar × Zeina by Munjiz cross is the starting point of this profile. The recurring names AF Albahar, Amer, Munjiz, Dormane become routes through the archive — not a mathematical promise of performance.
Why this profile belongs here
Falaah’s late development from an inexpensive two-year-old sale prospect into an international Group 1 winner shows why surface, training environment and individual maturity must be weighed as carefully as catalogue headlines.
Career landmarks
Pedigree
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
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
Falaah is by AF Albahar, a son of Amer and Al Hanouf, and out of Zeina by Munjiz. Zeina’s dam Zenhobie is by Dormane out of Djelifa, taking the female line back to the Cherifa branch that also appears behind Majd Al Arab in the archive. The mating therefore combines Amer paternally with Munjiz, Dormane and Cherifa on the female side. As Falaah is a gelding, his value cannot be tested through future progeny; instead, the dossier is a sourcing case about late physical development, a change of surface and how a modest purchase price can become elite performance without that outcome having been predictable at the sale.

Breeding Insight
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.
