There is a VERY inbred/linebred Wild Risk line stallion in the DB. 1991 Model named Al Achtar. No progeny, but the added info has him at a stud.

Does he have any TB progeny? Heck, I didn't even know they did TB racing in Morocco.

They do breed and race TBs in Morocco.

However, looking up & verifying the pedigrees of Morocco-breds isn't something I've ever had luck with.

So I can't help with the rest...

I was in Morrocco long ago and went to the races in Rabat,it was a treat really and the King was present. Had some fun and enjoyed the day,most of the horses and jockeys were French, I still have the program back home in some suitcase.

I spent some time in Morocco back in the 70's - in fact I celebrated my 21st birthday in Agadir. Wonderful country. I didn't know they had horse racing though - I rode a camel in the Sahara.

Madelyn that explains a lot! Another lost soul looking for adventure ,I wonder if it was you that Kate Winslett portrayed in "Hideous Kinky" which was filmed over there.
