Confirmed facts — Al Dahma was by Amer out of Al Hanoof by Manganate. Her own record includes 25 wins and twelve Group 1 victories across a broad international programme. That makes her significant as a race mare in her own right. For bloodline analysis she becomes still more important because two of her sons, YAZEED and MARID, reached Group 1 through different sires.
Confirmed facts — YAZEED is by Munjiz, a son of Kesberoy. IFAHR and Haras du Grand Courgeon document eight wins from 17 starts, headed by the 2018 Qatar Cup — Prix Dragon G1 PA and the 2019 Qatar Gold Sword G1 PA. Several further Group 1 placings show that the level was repeated across seasons rather than resting on one race.
Confirmed facts — MARID is by TM Fred Texas, a son of Burning Sand. At three in 2018 he won both the Al Rayyan Cup — Prix Kesberoy G1 PA and the Qatar Arabian Trophy des Poulains G1 PA. He later finished second in the Doha Cup — Prix Manganate G1 PA and third in the Qatar International Cup G1 PA. The official and published records therefore show comparable classic turf ability around 2,000 metres through another paternal route.
Editorial analysis — the comparison does not make Munjiz and TM Fred Texas interchangeable. Munjiz contributes the Kesberoy–Saint Laurent structure, while TM Fred Texas brings Burning Sand and American speed. The shared component is Al Dahma and the Al Hanoof family. When one mare produces elite performance through more than one sire route, the maternal signal is stronger than a record built on a single successful mating.
Risk and limitation — two successful sons do not prove that every horse from the family will become a racing or breeding success. Fertility, conformation, temperament, soundness, rearing, training environment and compatibility with the chosen sire all affect the outcome. YAZEED's and MARID's own sire records must also be followed independently; maternal half-brothers are not identical products.
The Shelby conclusion — for sourcing or stallion selection, the Al Dahma family is a strong research signal rather than a shortcut to a decision. We verify the immediate dam's own performance and production, distance from Al Dahma, the sire line being added and whether the individual fits the intended Nordic racing programme. Repeat family class opens the analysis; evidence from the horse in front of us determines whether to proceed.
