Born in 1994 at the famous Michalow Stud in Poland, ESKALOPKA is one of the great outputs of the chestnut stallion MONOGRAMM left in Poland by his breeding period of two years leased from the U.S. to the Polish stud farms. Her sire line is Kuhailan Haifi, and her damline is from the successful MILORDKA family from where for example, the famous stallions, World Champion EDYKT, and multiple Champion and European Reserve Champion, ELART, came from. ESKALOPKA's dam is the Polish National Champion mare, EGZOTYKA, a 1982 born, impressive grey, by the famous PROBAT.
All horses in Poland have to prove at the age of two to four their strength and their performance qualities at the race track. And that includes ESKALOPKA, too. In 1997, she had eight starts in flat racing, and achieved twice a second place, and twice a fourth.
ESKALOPKA is a truly wonderful mare and one of the top mares bred at the renowned Michalow Stud in Poland, ESKALOPKA has it all - type, elegance, femininity, and especially movement! She is known for an exhilarating powerful animated trot of tremendous length and suspension seen time and time again when this mare is 'flying' around the show ring. Her great quality is reflected in her show achievements: European Champion Mare in 2001, Polish National Reserve Champion Mare in 2002, 'Top Ten' Mare at the 2001 World Championships in Paris, and 2007 Reserve Champion Mare at the Ajman show, in the United Arab Emirates (after her stablemate, San Jose Alfonsina).
ESKALOPKA was aquired by Sheikh Mohammed Saud Al Qasimi, Albidayer Stud, in 2004, when she was offered in the 2004 'Pride of Poland" auction. Issued in Lot No. 6 in the sales catalogue, Sheikh Mohammed sent his representative to the auction, and when the hammer felt down at 140.000 EUR, Sheikh Mohammed was the new and happy owner of ESKALOPKA, who was leaving Poland to the United Arab Emirates.
ESKALOPKA had already produced three foals in Poland, and was infoal again for 2005 by the Polish stallion Emigrant. So a few months later, in the desert emirate of Sharjah, ESKALOPKA gave birth to a lovely filly: her daughter BIDAYER, who not only was giving a lot of pleasure and pride to her owner, but also being the namesake of the sheikh's well known 'Albidayer Stud'. BIDAYER very much ressembles her mother, and ESKALOPKA has really stamped this filly with all her qualities. BIDAYER been shown a very few times as a yearling, and already achieveing some very nice results, amongst them, Champion Filly at the 2006 Ramadan Show in Ajman. |
