The trophy was presented by the <strong>Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> president Marcelo Sallum. The prize was created last year as part of the celebrations marking March 25th, Arab Community Day in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><!--[{![cemb_9_706935_2]!}]-->&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The race was for Arabian-type horses only. &ldquo;The prize is a way to promote Arabian horses in Brazil and to showcase the quality of this breed, which is very good,&rdquo; Sallum stated. &ldquo;Besides, it is a brand that connects with the community [of Arab descent] and with the countries we represent,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to Atentaddo&rsquo;s breeder Jos&eacute; Silvestre Viana Egreja, an &ldquo;Arabian horse breeding revival is underway&rdquo; in Brazil. S&atilde;o Paulo&rsquo;s Jockey Club resumed hosting Arabian races in 2013, after a nine-year hiatus.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the animal, Egreja claimed it wasn&rsquo;t &ldquo;born out of the blue&rdquo;: rather, it is part of a long lineage of champions that have won titles throughout the United States and Europe, whose grandsire the breeder himself imported approximately 20 years ago. <\/p>\n<p>The owner of Fazenda Campestre farm, in Pen&aacute;polis, S&atilde;o Paulo, Egreja also explained the reason for the name Atentaddo: &ldquo;It means nervous, restless!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The current owner of the nine-year-old horse, Nuri Donizetti Jos&eacute; Haddad added that the animal won six out of eight races it ran in and that its victories are &ldquo;the sum of several factors,&rdquo; but he believes the main reason is the fact that the horse had success in endurance riding races in the past. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Prior to coming to the Jockey [Club], it was the 20-kilometer endurance race champion; and the 40-km race champion in S&atilde;o Paulo and Brazil; this gave it the heart of a long-distance runner, and this is very important,&rdquo; he stressed. <\/p>\n<p>Now, Haddad intends to have Atentaddo compete overseas, in Europe, and would like an invitation for the Dubai World Cup, an event held annually in the United Arab Emirates. <\/p>\n<p>Before the Arab Chamber Grand Prize, another Arabian horse-only race took place: Prova Especial Comunidade &Aacute;rabe do Brasil (the Arab Community in Brazil Special Race). The winner was the mare Rhondda Rach, ridden by jockey Jos&eacute; Moura. The breeder is former Arab Chamber president Jamil Saliba.<\/p>\n<p>Both races were attended by Arab Chamber board members, diplomats from Arab countries and guests. <\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-183701\">Alexandre Rocha\/ANBA<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atentaddo VE has won an Arabian horses-only race last Monday evening at S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Jockey Club.
