Prince Faisal had ten million reasons to celebrate following the Saudi Cup in Riyadh after his homebred star Mishriff added the world s richest race to a record that already included the Prix du Jockey Club and the Prix Guillaume d Ornano.
The story contained within Mishriff s pedigree encapsulates an approach to racing and breeding that has brought the Prince untold success over the past four decades. The four-year-old hails from his signature family, tracing back to Eljazzi, who was purchased for 92,000gns at the Tattersalls Houghton Sale and has since founded a dynasty.
The daughter of Artaius bred the influential Rafha, winner of the Prix de Diane and dam of Invincible Spirit and Kodiac - both of whom carried the Prince s colours before embarking on highly successful stallion careers. Also among Rafha s 11 winning offspring was Princess Royal Stakes scorer Acts Of Grace, who in turn produced Mishriff s dam Contradict.
