Betty Finke says when she saw him in person, “Apart from having a straighter profile, Farag was virtually a carbon copy of his sire *Morafic. Eleven years old, in his prime, he was snow-white, regal, and so ethereally beautiful it literally took your breath away. He couldn’t be real, yet he was. The dryness, the refinement of his head were unlike anything I had seen before: each vein, every edge of bone exquisitely detailed like some madly exaggerated artist’s sculpture. He may not have had much of a dish, but his eyes were huge and black and seemed to look straight through all those people at something only he could see. As it turned out, I was not the only person affected by an encounter with this stallion. Another one was Dr. W. Georg Olms, who also saw him at that 1973 Equitana. Unlike me, he didn’t just look at him. He bought him, built his Hamasa Arabian Stud around him, and founded the Asil Club.”
