Profile:

A wonderfully designed daughter of EKSTERN, Antaja ranks high among his get foaled in the youngest State Stud. The undefeated “King of the Ring” proved his champion-making status at Białka, delivering some of the stud’s most outstanding specimen in recent years, among them Bełżyce Junior Champion, Autumn Show Junior & Senior Reserve Champion, Polish National Junior Champion, Deauville International Cup Senior Reserve Champion CELSJUSZ, Vilhelmsborg Junior Top Five EKINA, Breeders’ & International Championships Europe Reserve Senior Top Five CIRILLA, Autumn Show Junior Reserve Champion CELLA & class top fives CALATEA, FRYMUSZKA & HERLINA.
Antaja’s maternal side of the pedigree is made up of Białka’s absolute best - their “A” dynasty of racing champions and the most remarkable stallion ever bred within their barns, Polish National Junior & Senior Champion, Rome & Dutch National Champion Stallion, All Nations Cup Reserve Champion and World Senior Top Ten PESAL. Brilliantly combining the “P” bloodlines of PARMA & PIEWICA, PESAL has generously passed these exceptional genetics onto his charming fillies, who today have reached the status of broodmares and are producing successful show horses, such as CELSJUSZ (out of the PESAL daughter CARINA), BAJADERKA (out of BAGATELA), NOUMEA (out of NOC), GOLTERIA (out of GOTLANDIA), HERMIONA & HESPERA (out of HERCA), CELINA (out of CYFRA), EPIMA, EPILACJA & EPIFAN (out of EPIMERIA), not to forget ABBAR - Antaja’s brother - out of the “groovy” PESAL daughter ABBA.
ABBAR’s show career began with class top five honors at the Junior Spring Show at Białka, the Polish Nationals at Janów Podlaski and a Junior Reserve Champion title from the Autumn Show in Janów Podlaski, after which he took European arenas by storm, claiming the titles of Arabian Cup Zottegem Senior Bronze Medalist (two years in a row) & Emerald Trophy National Senior Champion, adding a glorious chapter to his otherwise distinguished racing family. ABBAR’s and Antaja’s dam ABBA, a double winner from the track and Koheilan I St. placer, is herself a sister to Oaks winner ARYJKA & the tenacious athlete AR-RAHMAN, winner of 15 races, including the Bandola & Bask St. The entire group traces back to five time winner ALBANIA, a cornerstone broodmare of Białka, whose successful athletic descendants (ACHILLES, AMARANTKA, ALPAR, AL-ADA, AL ADHA, ABISYNIA, ALBERTINA, ALBINA, ALAHAR, ARABELLA, AMADIS) enjoyed victories in the most prestigious stake races among foreign-bred rivals.
