Another Mishaal HP daughter in the sale is from a
damline that is the love of my life – a young mare that is
attracting a lot of interest, Mishaals Rhapsody RCA out
of Bint Rhapsody InBlack (Alixir x Rhapsody In Black),
who is also in the sale. She goes back to the beginning.
In 1985, David Gardner had a Ruminaja Ali Summer
Classic Sale in Lexington. All the mares were either
sired by Ruminaja Ali or were in foal to him. Ali became
the first love of my life when I saw him at the Canadian
Nationals in 1980. We had only been in the business
for two years, and I didn’t know a good horse from a bad
horse, but when he walked into the arena, he stole my
heart. I thought he was the most gorgeous thing I had
ever seen. Evidently David Gardner liked him, too. He
asked the Bergrens if he could buy him. They said they’d
sell forty-nine percent, so David sold shares. I loved him
so much I said we wanted two shares.
At that Summer Classic sale, we purchased Glorieta
Zaarina who had the most gorgeous little black filly by
Ali at her side. That filly, Aliashahm RA, is the dam of
Rhapsody In Black by Thee Desperado. Bred to Alixir,
Rhapsody In Black produced the stallion Bellagio
RCA, and Bint Rhapsody InBlack, the dam of Mishaals
Rhapsody RCA.
We are also offering two mares by Ramses Mishaal
Nadir (Mishaal HP x Ramses Minx) – Lady Nadir RCA
(x Pimlicos Lady RCA) and Nadirs Lily RCA (x
Desperados Lily RCA) in foal to Bellagio.
Ramses Mishaal Nadir was a godsend after we lost
Mishaal. Allison Mehta showed him to me at the
Egyptian Event one year. But at the time I didn’t need
him because we had Mishaal. The day that he died,
Two yearlings by Bellagio RCA in the sale, the filly
ILLA BINT ASILA RCA (x Bint Bint Asila RCA by
Mishaal HP), left, and the colt MONARCH RCA
(x Mishaals Lily RCA by Mishaal HP), right.
