Rubaiyat (Fr) (Areion {Ger}–Representera {GB}, by Lomitas {GB}), a group winner at two, three, four, and five years, will stand at Gestut Ohlerweiherhof in Germany next year, Jour de Galop reported. His fee will be €4,500.
Bred by Gestut Karlshof, he was a €26,000 BBAG August yearling. In the colours of Darius Racing, the Henk Grewe trainee was a multiple group winner in both France and Italy. As a juvenile, he won the G2 Gran Criterium and the G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten, and the G3 Dr. Busch-Memorial went his way as a sophomore. In 2021, he scored in the G2 Premio di Capua Vittorio, and this year, he signed off his 25-start career in the G3 Premio Ribot last month. Earning north of $650,000, Rubaiyat placed in another 10 group races throughout his racing days.
A half-brother to French listed winner Rose Flower (Ger) (Dabirsim {Fr}), the 5-year-old counts G3 Prix d'Aumale heroine Joyeuse Entree (GB) (Kendor {Fr}) as his second dam. Besides foaling his winning dam Representera, she also produced G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Tin Horse (Ire) (Sakhee) and the listed winner and group-placed Becomes You (GB) (Lomitas {GB}). Two-time group winner Jadoomi (Fr) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), also placed twice at the highest level, is out of a winning full-sister to Tin Horse.
