10 Commitment to STUD Racing Other recent highlights for the Al Shahania race team include victory in one of the most prestigious Arabian races in the Middle East the 2012 Emir s Sword with Aziz (Amer x Aziza d Aroco by Dormane).

The Al Shahania team takes special pride in the fact that not only is Chaddad a homebred, but he is also the first winner sired by the Al-Shahaina-bred stallion Mared Al Sahra (Amer x Massamarie by Tidjani).
