Dam

SAMS LOUISA was an outstanding race mare by one of U.S. Arabian racing's fathers, Samtyr. SAMS LOUISA amassed $94,424 in 37 starts, and in her years of racing from 1991 to 1996 when purses were lower than today this was a tremendous accomplishment. Even in today's racing world, her record would shine- she won 15 races, including 9 stakes wins, and had 4 stakes placings. Although SAMS LOUISA was not a Darley Winner, she beat two Horses of the Year, and a three-time Darley winner. She was a Darley nominee in 1994 when she won three stakes. In '93 SAMS LOUISA won the Sierra Queens Hdcp. with Fryga second and FMR Hadassah 3rd. In the '92 Bob McDonald/Region II Distaff, she won by 7 1/2 over Fryga. In '96 SAMS LOUISA was victorious over HT Sarah, 1997 Horse of the Year, in the Princess Distaff at Trinity Meadows. She beat the '94 Armand Hammer winner, Dae Gaa Zhay, in the '94 Brusally Orzelost Cup Open.

SAMS LOUISA was inducted to the Racing Hall of Fame in 2002.

SAMS LOUISA's dam, Scimitar Georgia, also produced Prarie Boy, a multi stakes winner and multi stakes placed earner of $74,410; and multi stakes winner Choissonnes. SAMS LOUISA herself has produced excellently- each one of her foals has raced and won: multi winner and stakes placed Amuseme Or Loseme, multi winner Grande Louise, multi winner and stakes placed Vigilantie, winner Balls To The Wall, and multi winner French Design.

He has been an outstanding sire in France, and has sired many stakes winners in different countries including DARIKE, PASSEM LOTOIS, DORWAN DU CAYROU, ROGHEDA, and DALINA DES FABRIES.

FALINA DES FABRIES is from a wonderful female family. He is out of an unraced daughter of DJOURMAN who is the dam of 4 other foals to race, 3 winners, including FALINA DES FABRIES's full siblings DALINA DES FABRIES (1st Coupe d'Al Asayl Stables of Abu Dhabi, etc.) and Elina des Fabries (3rd Prix du Crown Prince d'Abu Dhabi, etc.).

Often the FALINA DES FABRIES babies took 1st, 2nd and/or 3rd prize in the same stake like in the ARC Juvenile Fillies Grade 1 Stake. The 1st 3 finishers were -- Scoot, Rolly Polly, and Kittilina. All by FALINA DES FABRIES. 2006 saw the first foal crop of FALINA DES FABRIES to come of racing age and they achieved stunning success- the first time a Freshman Sire has achieved this kind of record.

FALINA DES FABRIES was the leading ARC sire in number of mares bred in 2006, with 20 mares expecting his foals in 2007. FALINA DES FABRIES died on Christmas Eve, 2006. The stallion had a great future as a sire, and his loss is considered a real tragedy. The progeny he leaves behind are very valuable to carry on his line.
