Thee Desperado was once again a sire of influence at the Arabian horse’s world championships, the Salon du Cheval in Paris. An excerpt from an article published by the Pyramid Society reads:

Another sire recognized for his presence in Paris is Thee Desperado (The Minstril x AK Amiri Asmarr), owned by Judy Sirbasku, of Arabians Ltd., in Waco, Texas. Being the grand-sire to the 2009 Senior Male Champion, Royal Colours (True Colours x Xtreme Wonder [The Elixir x Lenoire Moniet by Thee Desperado]), and Reserve Champion, Al Lahab [Laheeb x The Vision HG by Thee Desperado], last year was really a special year for those of us who love this great stallion. In 2010, through his grand-get, Thee Desperado was not without representation. Although both his son True Colours (out of Daheda) and his grandson Royal Colours had sons competing, his Egyptian sired son, BJ Thee Mustafa made his appearance twice — most notably as the grand sire to Turchiya MPE, owned by Leandro De Aguilar. Turchiya MPE, not only placed as a Top Ten champion, she was also named Most Beautiful Head in her junior mare class. However, perhaps Thee Desperado’s most profound presence at this year’s Salon Du Cheval, could be as the grand-sire to the above mentioned, Jamilla Al Zobair, who was recently crowned Reserve Champion at the 2010 Nations Cup.
