Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum's homebred TALAAQY (IRE) (Dansili {GB}) is a daughter of Listed Atalanta S. victress Shabiba (Seeking The Gold) and thus a half-sister to MGSW dual G1 Al Quoz Sprint placegetter Ertijaal (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and Listed Rockingham S. runner-up Odooj (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}).
