There is ABSOLSUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH "Nasralla" (Shahriar) (1956. The problem started when rumors went about, stating that his grand sire El Nasser" was not pure. They confused this grand sire "El Nasser (Diane) foaled in 1938 with "El Nasser" (1929)- a partbred, which had no progeny. (how can one confuse when there is a 7 year difference in birth, eh) But this confusion came through Raswan's entry. Had he been alive he would have noticed that there was no relation between these two horses.

All sorts of rumors flew around, like Henry Pharoun was dishonest, etc.etc. When in reality he is was highly respected breeder in Lebanon and the father of Generale El dahdah, a gentleman of high repute, and a wizard when t comes to pedgrees and purity, as is his son Eduardo.

Al Khamsa here munched over this subject for years and over 25 years ago I gave the correct data to them and kept pushing them until they finally voted to accept him some 8 years ago. This vote was finalized in 2003, because it takes them 5 years to okay things ultimately... (Al Khamsa takes always five years to perfect and accept something they had voted on.)a time limit totally unacceptable at this time and age.

El Nasser (Diane) (1938) was a successfull racer- raced : 18/8-5-3) and was bred by the Geheich Tribe/ahmed AlTaha, Jezir, Syrira. He was bought by H Pharoun in 1942, sold to Ahmed Abu El Futuh in 1943 and bought by the RAS in 1947. He produced 4 daughters and 7 sons, One daughter was :Sehr" (1948) a black mare out of Salwa, and she became the dam of Nasralla (Shariar).

Nasralla (Shariar) (1956) raced 3/9(4-2-2) did a mile in 1.49, 1m1F in 2.07 1m31 yds in 1.49.

Balance (1928) had nothing to do with the above, he was by Ibn Samhan out of Farida. His race record for one mile in 1.45 appears to be unbroken.

Anybody who is lucky enough to have the "Nasralla" blood in their breeding program should thank God. We imported Serenity Luftia (Nasralla (Shariar)
x Nazeera in 1970. She became a multiple halter champion mare and excellent producer. Nasralla produced 38 daughters and 19 sons. the offspring and get I have seen weere by enlarge very good horses and athletes.
