Confirmed facts — Rahba records AL SAKBA (FR) as a bay mare foaled in 2004 by Al Sakbe out of Essaada by Hosni. Eight starts in Moscow produced four wins, three seconds and one fourth, with historically reported prize money of 112,000 RUB.
Racing profile — Three wins came over 1,000–1,200 metres in 2007: the Sprint Stakes, Karinka Stakes and Beresta Stakes. She was second in the Moscow Cup over 1,200 metres and won another 1,200-metre race in 2008. Seconds over 1,600 and 1,800 metres and fourth in the Oaks over 2,000 metres show range, but the primary signal is speed on sand.
Pedigree — Al Sakbe brings Kesberoy and Djourman through Morgane de Piboul. On the dam side, Essaada is by Hosni and Sibawaih, with Zulfikhar further back. This French–North African combination must be weighed against the individual’s conformation, hoof quality, temperament and health.
Breeding evidence — Rahba records six offspring by Benedick, Dilijans and Karmel de Faust, including Shri Lanka. That is useful production evidence, but it does not prove every cross works. Auctav presents three selected wins while Rahba records four; the difference shows why source, scope and definition must remain visible beside every figure.
Practical conclusion — AL SAKBA is relevant when the aim is to investigate acceleration, early speed and how a speed profile may translate into breeding. Decisions must still be based on the complete mare and her actual progeny, not a famous sire name or one historic line.
