Mubtaahij (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), winner of the GI Awesome Again S. and of the G2 UAE Derby, will begin his stallion career at Haras Abolengo, one of the most important argentinian farms, the same farm that bred champion and successful stallion Candy Ride (Arg) (Ride the Rails).
Mubtaahij will join Abolengo's stallion roster in association with his owner Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, who will support him with his broodmare band in Argentina.
“Alejandro García Romero, manager of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa in Argentina, presented me with the opportunity to repeat the agreement we had made some years ago with UAE Triple Crown winner Asiatic Boy (Arg) (Not for Sale) and, after studying the horse we reached an agreement that will allow us to incorporate in our stallion barn a horse with excellent running power and great ability,” said Julio Menditeguy, owner of Haras Abolengo.
Mubtaahij will stand along John F. Kennedy (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Long Island Sound (War Front), Equal Stripes (Arg) (Candy Stripes) and Cosmic Trigger (Arg) (Sunray Spirit), the latter an undefeated half-brother to Candy Ride.
