Bred by Granham Farm near Marlborough, Aqlaam is owned by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum and will stand at Nunnery Stud in 2010. This year, he won the Summer Mile Gr. 2 at Ascot on 11th July, was 2nd to Goldikova in the Jacques Le Marois Gr.1 at Deauville on 16th August and then won the Prix du Moulin Gr 1 at Longchamp on 6th September.

An Oasis Dream colt out of Bourbonella, a Rainbow Quest mare, the horse has really done his breeders proud. David and Dawn Hearson, the owners of Granham Farm, were delighted to sell his yearling half-sister for 300,000 guineas at Book 1 of Tattersalls October Sale. The filly was purchased by Shadwell Stud.
