An wonderful mare in the prime of her life, Samura bears a “pure Janów Podlaski” trademark, as her closest ancestors have been foaled at the famous stud, with just a hint of Egyptian blood in the shape of PALAS. Samura stems from Janów Podlaski’s famous “S” dynasty of accomplished racers, with the “S” deriving from the name of family founder SABELLINA, but could just as well stand for “stamina” and “speed”, as six successive generations of this family have won the Derby, Oaks or both, as well as other stake races. The list of acclaimed performers and stake winners begins with family founder SABELLINA (Oaks & Derby St.) and continues through SANTA (Oaks & Derby St.), SABBAT (Derby St.), SAMBOR (US Champion racehorse & founder of a racing dynasty), SAMARRA (Oaks & Criterium St.), SART (Arabian Produce – Janów Podlaski St. & Criterium St.), SALAR (Arabian Produce – Janów Podlaski St.), SANOS (Derby St.), SASANKA (a Triple-Crown racing filly, winner of the Derby, Oaks, Criterium St., Arabian Produce – Janów Podlaski St., Skowronek St., Witeź II St. & Comet St., dam of US sire of racing greats MONARCH AH), SARENKA (Arabian Produce – Janów Podlaski St. & Derby), SASZETKA (Derby, Oaks, Sabellina St. & Sabellina St.), SANNA (Koheilan I St., Comet St., Oaks, Wielki Szlem St.), SARMACJA (Derby, Oaks, Arabian Produce – Janów Podlaski St., Europa Cup, Koheilan I St., Sambor St.), SAVVANNAH (13 wins from 18 starts, including Koheilan I, Białka, Sambor, twice Ofir, Oaks, Criterium, Kabaret, Figaro, Europa Cup, & Michałów St.) and SALSA (Sabellina & Oaks St.). Not to be overshadowed by performance successes, the family has also left a mark on the show arena with SEFORA (Polish National Champion Filly & Wels International Champion Mare), SARMATA (Brazilian Champion Stallion), SASZA (twice UK Champion Mare), SIKLAWA (Polish National Reserve Champion Filly, Citta di Castello Reserve Champion Mare, Qatar Reserve Champion Mare), SARAGON (Austrian Reserve Champion Stallion) and SARADELA (World, All Nations Cup & Swedish Champion Mare, European Reserve Champion Mare). The athletic factor of SABELLINA’s dam line is further enhanced by ARRA on the spear side of the pedigree, who beside earning the titles of European & Polish National Champion Mare had also claimed racing’s Triple Crown, crossing the wire first in the Derby, Oaks and Criterium St. Samura proudly carries on this grand tradition, having sealed her racing career with a win and proving her ability to produce versatile progeny as seen in race winner SARGENTO and Mińce Regional Show Champion SAJUN. Expect Samura to add value to any barn focused on excellence in every aspect of Arabian horse breeding and make Janów’s legendary “S” stand for your Success.
