Arax |
rax is one of the stallion of the Bairactar sire line. He
went to Tersk in 1958 after standing one year at Albigowa State Stud. He is the son of
Amurath Sahib, gray stallion foaled in 1932. Arax was the leading sire at Tersk for the
ten years he he stood there, siring 101 foals, of which 11 sons and 23 daughters were
registered. He is a credited with passing on good bone, much substance, great length and
strength of hindquarters, a typey head with large expressive eyes, the long neck typical
of the line, and excellent disposition and temperament. In 1969, when he was 17, Arax was
sold to Holland but died from a shipboard accident. The Arax line was carried on briefly
by Namek (x Neposeda by Priboj), then by Nabeg, a bay stallion foaled in 1966 (out of the
noted Nomenklatura by Naseem) until his death in 1978. The line then passed to Pesniar (x
Pesnia by Aswan) and, after his importation to the United States, to Menes RASB (Nabeg x
Metropolia by Priboj). Now that Menes RASB is also in the United States, the Bairactar
line is carried on by Nabeg sons and grandsons.Arax daughters are treasured the world over; at Tersk, Magnolia and the full sisters Naturshitsa and Nemezida were highly broodmares.
