Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms and Mario Serrani bred the chestnut filly out of Among the Roses, a winning daughter of Curl and from the female family of Class 1-ranked stakes winners Various port , Keertana And Snow Top Mountain .
Arabian Knight, bred in Kentucky by Corser Thoroughbreds, was highly regarded with a 2nd-place finish when he topped the 2022 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Spring 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale with $2.3 million. Agent Gary Young purchased Uncle Mo’s son for Zedan Racing Stables from the Top Line Sales consignment.
On the track, Arabian Knight won his racing debut by 7 1/4 lengths in his only start at 2. He didn’t miss a beat in transitioning to this 3-year-old campaign, which he launched by winning the Southwest Stakes (G3) by 5 1/2 lengths. With trainer Tim Yaakteen in early 2023, Arabian Knight never progressed further on the Kentucky Derby (G1) course because the trainer felt he needed time to develop.
Yaakteen’s decision was rewarded with a fine third place in the Haskell Stakes (G1) and a hard-fought victory in the Pacific Classic Stakes (G1), both with trainer Bob Baffert. Arabian Knight retired with a 3-0-1 record from six starts and earned $1,562,275.
Arabian Knight retired to stud at Hill ‘n’ Dale in Kentucky, where he recruited 273 mares in his first book. It’s worth $30,000.
