Career Story
Prix Nefta G2 PA · Toulouse · 1,600 m.
MAHABB won five races and was placed in the remaining three from eight starts at four and five in France and England. He won the Prix Nefta G2 PA over 1,600 metres, Prix Damas G3 PA over 1,400 metres, Prix du Printemps over 1,525 metres and Prix Aicha over 1,200 metres. Two runner-up finishes in the Zaabeel International Stakes G1 PA at Newbury and third in the French Arabian Breeders’ Cup Mile G1 PA show that his speed held against international opposition. Rahba also records 1:16 over 1,200 metres.

Research dossier
Race record, family and practical relevance are read together — never as isolated headlines.
Read the race record
MAHABB is presented with 5 wins, with a documented distance profile of 1,200–1,600 m · documented sprint and mile programme. Those figures become meaningful only when read with where, when and against whom the results were achieved.
Read the pedigree
The Tahar de Candelon × Joyzell by Jaf Orphatyn cross is the starting point of this profile. The recurring names Tahar de Candelon, Tidjani, Pehrxylla ibn Xelio, Jaf Orphatyn become routes through the archive — not a mathematical promise of performance.
Why this profile belongs here
MAHABB shows how documented sprint and mile speed can become a direct, but never solitary, reference when we read his son MAYHAAB alongside Manella’s Dormane–Mandore female line and the son’s own results.
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
MAHABB is connected here to three documented sons in the archive: Areem, Naseem and Deryan. Their different female families show why a sire's recurring influence should be studied across multiple families without treating the offspring as copies.
Bloodline Story
MAHABB was by Tahar de Candelon, a son of Tidjani, out of Joyzell by Jaf Orphatyn. For 1919 by Shelby the link is direct: MAYHAAB is his son and is out of Manella, whose female line runs through Dormane and Mandore. MAHABB’s own sprint and mile record therefore provides relevant context, while MAYHAAB’s four wins from thirteen starts are the son’s own evidence. The two records should be read together but never conflated.

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.
