For those of you who may be interested in the breeding or history of the 
winning horse:

I am very proud to say he comes from South Africa.  His sire an imported 
stallion Shams El
Farin (you can look at his breeding on www.allbreedpedigree.com, Asil as far as 
I can
assess) his dam a locally bred mare Gaillardia Mo-Kimash.  Her lines are very 
much the
star lines in many South African horses, not usually recognized by the rest of 
the world
(Olford, Vlinkfontein and Timarie).
If I have to guess, the brilliance of this horse lies in his dam's lines.  From 
the
information available, none of the sire's other foals have excelled.  Whereas 
just about
every "winning" horse in South Africa has some of her lines in its breeding.  
The lines
are known to be hot, forward and strong with great stamina.

Charlandre el Shariff was carefully conditioned for the export market by a 
local trainer
for a number of years before he was finally shipped.  At the age of 6 - 7 he 
completed in
excess of 1000km, all at slow steady speeds, never racing.
