justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' fairly common ' ( stotz et al . ( 1996 ) . trend justification : this population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

. it has not been reported from the coast to the south - west of this site , where there has been intensive ornithological fieldwork . it is possible that it may occur north along the coast at least to 3°n ( increasing its range to c . 3 , 000 km
. the ecological relationship of this species with grazing animals is unknown , but it has been suggested that reduced numbers of domestic stock due to drought and loss of wild ungulates due to over - hunting may adversely affect its habitat .
no conservation action or fieldwork relating to this species has been undertaken for many years , due to the political instability in the area .
. study the species ' s ecology . investigate the effects of grazing - levels to assess potential threats . protect suitable habitat from development . legislate to reduce the hunting of wild ungulates .
to make use of this information , please check the < terms of use > .
trend justification the population is suspected to be in decline owing to the development of its coastal habitat , as well as the potential indirect effects of drought and over - hunting on the numbers of livestock and wild ungulates . the likely rate of decline has not been estimated .

comments : castilleja affinis , as treated by kartesz ( 1999 ) , includes three subspecies that he treated as separate species in his 1994 checklist : c . affinis , c . litoralis , and c . neglecta .
transferred to varietal rank by egger ( 2008 ) . treated as castilleja affinis ssp . neglecta by kartesz ( 1999 synthesis ) , by the jepson manual ( hickman , 1993 ) and by the u . s . fish and wildlife service . originally named as a species ( castilleja neglecta ) , and treated at that level by kartesz ( 1994 ) . kartesz notes ( pers . comm . to larry morse , 25nov99 ) that his treatment of this as a subspecies is based on a 1992 personal communication with chuang .
egger , j . m . 2008 . nomenclatural changes and selected lectotypifications in castilleja ( orobanchaceae ) . phytologia 90 ( 1 ) : 63 - 82 .
subspecies neglecta , known commonly as the tiburon paintbrush , is known from only a few occurrences in and around the san francisco bay area . it is a federally listed endangered species .
since castilleja is a hemi - parasite , planting it along with host plants such as lupine or bunch grasses may improve growth . host plants are often very specific and can be difficult to choose , but try associates found in castilleja ' s natural community such as eriophyllum stachaedifolium ( lizard tail ) , eriogonum parvifolium ( seacliff buckwheat ) , or erigeron glaucus ( seaside daisy ) .
tiburon paintbrush is a root parasite on other angiosperm species . the primary advantage of the parasitic attachment in castilleja and related plants in the figwort family is reportedly an increased water and mineral supply . though the parasitic relationship is not obligatory , benefits to species of castilleja from the parasitic habit are manifested in increased vigor with more branching , greater height , and earlier flowering . the host plant increases tiburon paintbrush ' s chance for survival . experiments and field data suggest that tiburon paintbrush species may utilize a variety of host species .

indian paintbrush is a biennial missouri native . during its first year , it forms a small set of basal leaves . the following year it blooms and produces seed . it is a hemiparasitic plant that receives a portion of its nutrients from a broad range of host plants . because it relies on other plants and is a biennial , we do not grow potted plants . most years we have seed available and usually include it in our seed mixes .
seed : check plants for ripe seed in mid may . needs 6 to 8 weeks cold moist stratification ; sow by february .
semi - woody perennial with erect branched stems , bearing yellow to red flowers .
residential development , foot traffic , grazing , soil slumping , non - native plants , gravel mining .
tiburon paintbrush is a perennial , flowering from april to june . its yellow flowers are largely bee - pollinated . seeds are shed in june and july , and the species dies back to its woody base in july and august . new growth from the woody base begins in december or january . seeds may remain dormant in the soil for several years . seed germination occurs in january or february and seems to be induced by leaching and low temperatures .
most plants have three or fewer inflorescences with about eight seed capsules per inflorescence containing about 1 , 600 seeds per plant . in the laboratory , tiburon paintbrush seedlings survived over a wide range of calcium / magnesium ratios . however , factors such as local climate , soil , and herbivory may profoundly influence germination rate , seedling establishment , and survivorship in nature .
tiburon paintbrush has never been widespread . three of the seven known populations occur on the tiburon peninsula in marin county , one occurs in napa county , and one in santa clara county . recently discovered populations on golden gate national recreation area and east of anderson lake extend the known range to western marin and santa clara counties , respectively . tiburon paintbrush is known from five populations in marin county , three of which occur on the tiburon peninsula , from one population in american canyon in napa county , and from one population in santa clara county . the range of this plant is approximately 30 mi ( 48 . 3 km ) from east to west , and 70 mi ( 112 . 6 km ) from north to south . population sizes are small , ranging from less than 20 plants at the santa clara county site to approximately 600 plants at ring mountain preserve on the tiburon peninsula .
populations of tiburon paintbrush occur on public and private land in marin county , and exclusively on private land in napa and santa clara counties . the marin county populations are threatened by residential development , foot traffic , grazing , and soil slumping . each of the three populations on the tiburon peninsula has multiple landowners . marin open space district owns over half of the ring mountain population formerly owned by the nature conservancy , and the town of tiburon owns portions of the population in the middle ridge area of the peninsula . the remainder of each of these populations is privately owned . the third population on the peninsula is in the vicinity of st . hilary ' s church in tiburon .
development on the tiburon peninsula has been extensive and rapid ; more than 60 % of tiburon paintbrush habitat has already been destroyed by development . residential development begun in the early 1980s is ongoing in the vicinity of the middle ridge population . a portion of the middle ridge population was extirpated by development about 1990 . the town of tiburon is currently considering a proposed development ( easton point ) that could impact the species as well as marin dwarf - flax in the vicinity of st . hilary ' s church . a second proposed development in the same area was denied by the town of tiburon . the area that would have been involved in this second development has been set aside as open space .
the napa county population is threatened by gravel mining and grazing . the napa county population occurs on private property near a gravel quarry . the property is used by syar industries for the mining of road base materials . the long - term effect of ambient dust from mining has the potential to alter soil chemistry and photosynthesis . although quarry expansion plans that would result in the destruction of more than 80 % of the population are no longer actively being pursued , the potential for expansion still exists . cattle grazing also has been reported to threaten a portion of the american canyon population . the santa clara county population consists of 13 plants that may also be subject to grazing .

mujahid ( foaled 31 february 1996 ) is an american-bred , british-trained thoroughbred racehorse and sire .

bred and owned by hamdan al maktoum he was trained throughout his racing career in england by john dunlop .

as a two-year-old in 1998 mujahid won three of his four races and was rated the best of his generation in europe after recording an upset win in the dewhurst stakes .

he never won another race although he did finish third in the 2000 guineas in 1999 .

after his retirement from racing he became a successful breeding stallion .

“he’s a happy horse and seems to be in good form . everything’s looking good for the race . ”
the surprise dewhurst stakes winner mujahid is officially rated europe ' s top two - year - old of last season .
the taliban spokesman zabiullah mujahid on wednesday said mullah mansour had been buried two days ago in an undisclosed location inside afghanistan .
“it is a field full of quality horses and it will take a good horse to win this race . ”

danzig was the first horse since bold ruler in 1963 - 1969 to lead the american general sire list three or more consecutive times .
his highness sheikh hamdan bin rashid al maktoum was awarded the cartier / daily telegraph award of merit for his outstanding support of british horse racing .
“the owner won’t come as he has six group runners in brazil this weekend . the horse however looks very well and seems very happy , ” said barbe .
“i’ve been with this horse from day one and i’ve seen him progress from england , to dubai , hong kong and now singapore and he’s never looked better .
“he’s enjoyed his trip out here , ” said yiu . “it’s his first trip away from hong kong but i always thought he was the type of horse that would travel .
aljabr is a best priced 6 to 1 for the guineas with mujahid on 8 to 1 , although aljabr is officially rated 4lbs inferior to the top - weight who earned a rating of 123 .
. written by racing historian jim bolus with illustrations and commentary by noted equine artist richard stone reeves , the book was released by the blood - horse , inc . , in 1994 .
aljabr was named european champion two - year - old colt at the 1998 cartier racing awards . in the official international classification however , he was ranked third , four pounds behind the dewhurst stakes winner mujahid .
“i’m full of butterflies in anticipation of a great race , ” said le grange . “it’s such an honour to have a horse good enough and to be a chance in this race . ”
it ' s just technical difficulties ,
explains mujahid kakar , the tolo anchor and moderator of the upcoming debate among six of the main contenders vying to succeed president hamid karzai in the april 5 election .
takaya shimakawa said , “i was thinking about purchasing a horse in italy and mac mahon was the right one . he won well and i enjoyed every moment of this day . mac mahon will stay in italy and he is a brilliant horse . [ next ] sunday i will have a runner in the g2 oaks d’italia , paiardina ( ire ) ( casamento { ire } ) , that i bought with mac mahon . ”
in the end , the decision on mawlawi haibatullah was made by a small group of about 24 permanent members of the leadership council and about a dozen other influential clerics late on tuesday , according to mr . mujahid , the taliban spokesman .
the great zeppelin 12 months ago belonged to mujahid , the dewhurst stakes winner , who was beaten at odds of 2 - 5 in the craven stakes . the hotshot of 1999 , distant music , may try his neck on the same newmarket block a week today .
“the draw is no good , but the horse is in excellent order . he can be highly - strung in his work , but he is a lot more settled in his races and the blinkers will come on too , ” said saimee .
notable sons and daughters on the racetrack included chief ' s crown , the champion 2 - year - old colt of 1984 ; lure , the two - time winner of the breeders ' cup mile , in 1992 and 1993 ; dance smartly , horse of the year in canada in 1991 and winner of the breeders ' cup distaff ; dayjur , horse of the year in england in 1990 ; pine bluff , 1992 preakness stakes winner ; and danzig connection , the winner of the 1986 belmont stakes .
by danzig ( 1977 ) leading sire of 1 , 099 foals aged three and up , including hard spun , anabaa , belong to me , chief’s crown , danehill , green desert , langfuhr , lure , mujahid , polish numbers , polish precedent , war chant , etc .
bankable with assistant - trainer trevor brown in the saddle , strode off on the tapeta track on track 4 before coming back at three - quarter pace on the polytrack , looking shipshape . the irish - bred by mujahid was timed at 37 . 8 seconds for the last 600m .
in the background appears a horse and rider , which is common in islamic imagery and jihadi visual propaganda . the importance of the horse in both pre - islamic arabia and islamic culture is evidenced by pre - islamic poetry , hadiths ( prophetic traditions or reports ) and other genres of literature - - ascribing horses with the positive qualities of chivalry and bravery in battle . for example , the beginning of the qur’anic sura 100 talks about “running horses” that appear as galloping through the world toward the final goal , namely , judgment day . horses are also symbolic of the first generation of muslims and that generation’s successful military campaigns , and thus are often employed to evoke specific salafi religious sentiments with regard to the military victories of muhammad and his companions . the rider emphasizes the element of human agency in jihad , and is a way to enhance the traditional symbol of a horse and flesh out notions of aggression and the call to jihad . overall , the horse and rider motif places current jihadi activities within the same unfolding dialectic as the jihad of early islam .

mujahid , who landed the dewhurst stakes as a two - year - old , has firmly established himself as italy ' s leading sire and in 2017 was champion sire for the sixth consecutive year , with 45 winners . , who operated at a strike - rate of more than 50 per cent .
the middle park stakes winner lujain is rated second on 122 and aidan o ' brien ' s prix morney winner orpen is the top - rated irish juvenile on 119 . that puts orpen 1lb ahead of the other top ballydoyle colt stravinsky , who was beaten by both mujahid and aljabr last season .
best tango’s 1 , 200m trial on the dirt was encouraging and it is somewhat surprising the son of mujahid ( by danzig ) , has not been tried on the all weather track at some stage , especially given his apparent slight preference for the tighter turns and more forgiving surface at the city circuit .
it is just as well , horses cannot read the scripts prepared for them , otherwise mujahid , easy winner of his first two races but a disappointing fifth in the gimcrack stakes , would not have had the temerity to jump out of the stalls in company with the likes of stravinsky , enrique and lujain .
a muscular , well - balanced bay horse who resembled his sire northern dancer but had a little more scope , danzig stood 15 . 3 hands . he was somewhat light on bone and had offset knees , which he tended to transmit to his progeny . his racing career ended due to repeated knee injuries .
godolphin ' s four - year - old is officially 4lb better than the next best older horse montjeu , rated the pick of the 1999 classic crop last year , who took the king george vi and queen elizabeth diamond stakes at ascot in july . the sir michael stoute - trained breeders ' cup turf winner kalanisi trails the pair on 126 , with emirates world series winner fantastic light on 124 . aidan o ' brien has europe ' s top two - year - old for the second season running , minardi succeeding the irish trainer ' s 1999 star fasliyev . his middle park stakes winner ' s rating of 123 is the same as recent juvenile champions mujahid ( 1998 ) and revoque ( 1996 ) , though none has had a lower mark since grand lodge headed the list on 120 in 1993 .
the highest rated horse of last season in the international classifications is the american dirt champion skip away who has been awarded a mark of 131 . he is closely followed by godolphin ' s intikhab who earned a rating of 130 on his demolition of the queen anne stakes field at royal ascot in june . intikhab , who has never run in a group one race , failed to appear again afterwards .
it ' s exciting times for us . he hasn ' t grown much over the winter but he was a tall horse last year anyhow . he looks stronger and he feels stronger , and if you were to ask me ' has he trained on ? ' i would say almost definitely yes . he looks like a three - year - old and not a two - year - old .

but unexpected does not always mean mediocre . although scenic , who shared the spoils ten years ago at 33 - 1 , virtually disappeared without trace the same cannot be said of generous , who scored at 50 - 1 two years later . mujahid ' s performance - and the defeat of the perceived cracks - has promoted him to second favourite , behind the godolphin candidate aljabr , for next year ' s 2 , 000 guineas in most bookmakers ' lists .
that puts irish trainer john oxx ' s star 5lb clear of giant ' s causeway , who won five group one events in 2000 , and us pair fusaichi pegasus and tiznow who were also rated 127 . but all four must bow to dubai millennium , a wide - margin winner of all his three races last season including the dubai world cup , whose rating of 134 makes him the best horse seen anywhere last year .
dual derby winner sinndar has been hailed as the best three - year - old in the world last year , putting iron horse giant ' s causeway and the top american stars firmly in the shade . the aga khan ' s colt , successful in the epsom and curragh classics and retired after following up in the prix de l ' arc de triomphe at longchamp , heads the international classifications unveiled today on a mark of 132 .
i have sat on him four times [ this spring ] , and he has felt every bit as good as last year . dad does not do these gallops to open them up , but he has done everything really well and he feels like a very good horse . he ' s a good worker in that he does what you tell him . he is not overlazy and he has never been beaten in a gallop .
on the other side of the world yesterday morning taufan ' s melody became the first british - trained horse to win at group one level in australia when he took the caulfield cup in melbourne at 66 - 1 . but his victory , by a short - neck from the 100 - 1 shot lisa ' s game with the favourite tie the knot third and the other raider , faithful son , fourth , was not without controversy .
mujahid , a handsome bay colt trained by john dunlop , blew away some mighty reputations on the wind - blasted heath here yesterday as he produced a 25 - 1 surprise in the season ' s premier two - year - old contest , the dewhurst stakes . sheikh hamdan al maktoum ' s home - bred son of danzig came home two lengths clear of another outsider , the 20 - 1 chance auction house , with the two joint - favourites stravinsky and enrique only third and fourth .

there is always a danger that maktoum - owned two - year - olds will be whisked to dubai for the winter but dunlop will keep control of mujahid , his first dewhurst winner .
the ground at york last time was a little too firm for him and he came back sore . i thought he would run well today , but i did not really think we would beat all the top ones , and especially not so easily . but he has a very good character and attitude .
the enthusiasm is not solely his preserve . barry hills may have been 63 just 11 days ago , but having a 9 - 4 guineas favourite in house has its rejuvenation qualities . and while brennan gets the regular pleasure of riding distant music , the honour of sitting on the machine at full tilt belongs to michael hills , the trainer ' s son . he can hardly wait .
you only have to be around this horse to sense what it is all about ,
the jockey said yesterday .
aljabr , a
tall , lengthy
grey horse , was bred in lexington , kentucky by the shadwell stud , the breeding operation of hamdan al maktoum . aljabr’s sire the double american champion storm cat was a highly successful stallion , producing the winners of more than 60 conditions races / grade i including cat thief and tabasco cat in the united states and giant ' s causeway in europe . aljabr’s dam sierra madre , from whom he inherited his grey coat , was a top - class racemare , winning the prix marcel boussac and the prix vermeille .
he was so much like his dad ,
koch said .
not just physically , but temperament , too . he was never a mean horse , but you wouldn ' t turn your back on him , because he was always ready to go . if you were letting him out in the paddock , he was ready to go ; if you were taking him to the breeding shed , he was ready to go ; if you were taking him to his stall , he was ready to go . i loved him . i ' ll be honest with you , i loved danzig .

liz doyle is optimistic of decent efforts from ashjan and bosco di alco at downpatrick on saturday .
two in one sprang a 33 / 1 surprise in the apple recruitment services handicap hurdle , scoring under luke dempsey for his father philip .

mark mcniff completed a memorable 145 / 1 treble at downpatrick as ashjan stayed on best to land the east down hunt club handicap hurdle .
nobody thought we ' d be talking too long about the downpatrick hunter chase after the event . however maybe its name gave a clue of what was to come as the very special - titled two and three quarter miler was drama filled .
station closed stormed up the hill in downpatrick to cut down her rivals and give gordon elliott a double on the card .
the devils bit 3 - y - o maiden hurdle at thurles could be remembered for the antics of the errant ashjan as much as anything else , but the spoils did go the way of the joseph o ' brien - trained and jody mcgarvey - ridden zig zag .
the image was produced by jund ansar allah , a local terrorist network in the gaza strip affiliated with the global jihad movement , which was behind the failed attempt to perpetrate a showcase terrorist attack at the nahal oz fuel terminal ( 8 june 2009 ) . the group refers to this incident as ghazwat al - balagh ( raid of proclamation ) and includes images of three jaa members killed in the raid : hani muhammad al - tarabin or “abu ` adnan , ” tahir ` isa ` isa or “abu muslim” and fahad muhammad al - minawi or “aby suhayb . ”
the group’s logo incorporates many common elements of the jihadist visual lexicon : two crossed swords , the seal of the prophet , an ak - 47 and a black banner . in the background europe , asia and africa appear without national divisions ( reflecting jihadist distaste for national causes or borders imposed on the muslim world during colonialism ) .
the caption is a play on and an indirect allusion to qur’anic verse 2 : 16 . the verse expresses the qur’anic concept of “striking out on a good deal when exchanging the right path for the wrong path . ” there is an even stronger direct allusion to verse 9 : 111 , where it is said : “be happy with your [ good ! ] deal you made . ” the concept is a prevalent one in islam , and spiritual choices are often put in economic terms ( i . e . , “getting a good deal when following god’s commands” ) .

the taliban identified the man in this photograph as mawlawi haibatullah akhundzada on wednesday .
kabul , afghanistan — faced with a choice between two obvious candidates to take over the taliban — one the young son of the insurgency’s founder , the other chief of the haqqani terrorist network — a small slice of the group’s leadership instead chose “none of the above” on wednesday .
breaking four days of silence after their previous leader was killed by an american drone strike , the taliban announced that a lesser - known deputy of the group , mawlawi haibatullah akhundzada , a conservative cleric in his 50s , would take over and continue the group’s war against the afghan government .
despite a lack of military credentials , mawlawi haibatullah became seen during a hasty series of leadership meetings as a throwback to core religious values and a possible figure to unify around after months of leadership struggle and violent schisms , according to insurgent commanders who were briefed on the selection process .
for afghan officials and their american allies who are struggling to hold back an aggressive taliban offensive this year , that is unlikely to offer any immediate comfort . any idea of joining peace talks is a deeply divisive one within the taliban ranks , and the statement announcing mawlawi haibatullah’s selection emphasized victory and omitted concession .
described by the taliban spokesman as “quiet , deeply patient , and a listener , ” mawlawi haibatullah served as a judicial leader during the days of the taliban government in afghanistan and is seen as a consensus builder . still , his announcement early wednesday came as surprise to many taliban commanders .
speaking at the group of 7 summit meeting in japan , president obama emphasized that the united states continued to support afghanistan ' s elected government .
the two men seen as the chief rivals for the leadership — sirajuddin haqqani , the insurgency’s day - to - day operations leader ; and mullah muhammad yaqoub , in his 20s and the son of the group’s founder , mullah muhammad omar — were named as deputies on wednesday , according to a statement from the taliban’s core leadership council in quetta , pakistan .
the announcement on wednesday was also the taliban’s first public confirmation that their leader for the past year , mullah akhtar muhammad mansour , had in fact been killed in a drone strike in pakistan’s baluchistan province , for years a seemingly inviolable haven for the insurgency’s leadership .
although mullah mansour presided over one of the most dramatic years of taliban battlefield gains since the group was ousted from kabul in 2001 , he also deeply alienated some of the group’s most influential commanders , including some who questioned his religious authority .
after the revelation last summer that the group’s revered founder , mullah omar , had been dead for at least two years — and that mullah mansour had been issuing leadership decrees in his name while hiding the fact of his death — mullah mansour worked quickly to try to head off challengers to his ascent .
but the leadership change , and the subsequent battles as mullah mansour put down rebel commanders who would not be brought into line , was an unparalleled airing of the taliban’s inner personality disputes , after years of maneuvering that had been cloaked by fear and mystery . and reports of mullah mansour’s extensive personal wealth and frequent travel abroad were at odds with official taliban accounts that portrayed him as a modest leader who lived conservatively .
after that , mawlawi haibatullah , a village preacher’s son who grew up in kandahar province and showed no signs of flash in his personal background , may have been especially attractive to a tight inner circle bent on rebuilding a more unified taliban .
still , some commanders expressed surprise over his selection on wednesday , saying most of the group’s top leaders had felt strongly about choosing either mullah yaqoub or mr . haqqani .
“mawlawi haibatullah is not very well known among the taliban here , ” said qair fasihuddin , the taliban shadow governor of badakhshan province . “but obviously , we are obedient to the leadership and we fully accept their decisions . ”
both those candidates , however , had factors that may have worked against them .
mullah yaqoub is believed to be less than 25 years old , and lacked experience . he was only recently made a member of the leadership council , and was given nominal military authority in 15 afghan provinces .
mr . haqqani , who leads the feared haqqani militant wing of the taliban , was named the second deputy to mullah mansour last year . in recent months , he is said to have mostly taken over the taliban’s military operations . but he is considered by some commanders to be uncomfortably close to pakistan’s military establishment .
analysts with insight into the taliban movement suggested the change in leadership would do little to shift the group’s policy away from fighting and toward talking peace .
mullah abdul sallam zaeef , a former taliban member close to its founding leader , said mullah haibatullah was widely respected within the insurgency as a religious scholar .
“the unity of the taliban is critical , whether for the taliban as a movement or for hopes of peace , ” mullah zaeef said . noting that there was still a standing religious fatwa to fight any foreign troop presence in afghanistan , he added : “the insistence on fighting is not the solution in afghanistan . but at the same time , the reason for the fighting needs to be done away with . as long as there remains a motive for the fatwa , any leader going against that will find itself in isolation . ”
hailing from panjwai district of kandahar province , mawlawi haibatullah belongs to the noorzai tribe . his family moved to pakistan after the soviet invasion , and mawlawi haibatullah has spent a good part of his life in pakistan , largely in quetta — first as a refugee , then as a longtime religious student , and over the past 14 years as a taliban figure in exile .
he rose to prominence as a judge during the taliban government in the 90s , holding a variety of roles across military and civilian courts . mullah omar was said to have valued his religious opinions and kept him at his side in the movement’s judiciary commission after the insurgency’s leadership moved to pakistan .
before he became a deputy to mullah mansour last summer , mawlawi haibatullah was an influential figure among clergy running the madrasas in pakistan that produce a large number of taliban fighters .
“one of the reasons that the taliban chose haibatullah as leader is that as a religious scholar , he can reunite different factions of the taliban and prevent disintegration , ” said habibullah fawzi , a former taliban diplomat .
some of the leaders of a breakaway taliban faction that revolted against mullah mansour are also from the noorzai tribe , and mawlawi haibatullah is believed to have been involved in trying to mediate their return .
but a spokesman for the breakaway faction , mullah abdul manan niazi , said on wednesday that the choice of mawlawi haibatullah was unacceptable . he said that members of the faction — mostly crushed by mullah mansour , with their leader reportedly in pakistani detention — had not been consulted .
his swift selection , along with the promotion of the “powerless” mullah yaqoub , was intended to create a situation in which mr . haqqani holds the real power , mullah niazi said .
“sheikh haibatullah is not the right choice for us , ” mullah niazi said , using the term for an elder scholar . “he has been selected quite similarly to mansour with no consensus of all mujahedeen — it will never be acceptable to us . ”

however , despite being crowned the best in the international classifications announced yesterday , the john dunlop - trained colt is only second favourite for the newmarket 2 , 000 guineas behind godolphin ' s prix de salamandre winner aljabr .
o ' brien reported both classic prospects in good form yesterday but was non - committal about the respective merits of both horses .
i ' m not sure . all i know at this stage is that they are two very high class colts . it ' s too early to talk about what we will run in the 2 , 000 guineas . we can worry about that in the spring .
the horses are cantering away at the moment . they all seem well . the bad weather has obviously been no help but it ' s still very early days yet ,
o ' brien said .
on the home front , the ballydoyle trainer supplies six of the top 10 juveniles in the irish ratings .
orpen and stravinsky are followed by the group one winners lavery and the filly sunspangled on 114 . the top rated non - ballydoyle classic prospect is the moyglare winner edabiya on 113 , while dermot weld ' s national stakes victor mus - if has been given a mark of 111 .
weld said yesterday :
that ' s probably a fair assessment of mus - if . he is doing well at the moment and will hopefully improve . we will review his options in march and april .
edabiya is reported to have strengthened up considerably through the winter and john oxx could also have a classic colt in namid who is rated 110 .
he had immature , soft knees last season so we gave him a break at home . he is back with us now and has done very , very well . we hope the rest has nipped his problems in the bud and while a mile may be his limit we hope he is a classic prospect ,
oxx said .
godolphin also had the champion four - year - old on turf in the shape of swain ( 129 ) while the official top three - year - old in europe last season is the irish 2 , 000 guineas winner desert prince who now stands at the irish national stud in kildare .
the newmarket 2 , 000 guineas winner king of kings is rated on 120 and o ' brien ' s other 1998 english classic winner , shahtoush ( oaks ) , is on 117 .
the epsom derby victor high rise , now with godolphin in dubai , is rated 127 .

fascinating ! really enjoyed reading that , thank you for puttig it on line . will be interesting to see if the green monkey is any good at stud !
interesting . on another note was at the tba conference at cheltenham a few years back and a vet talking about angular limb deformities said that storm cat was the stallion that often seemed to involved in foals with ald . although from experience of the ones we have they are ok , timber country ' s were far worse , always turning out on the near fore .
that is interesting ! and i tell you something else about sc ' s , often they will scope poorly and have a tendency towards being sway backed ! the sc yearling that was a 1 / 2 brother to ' 97 breeders ' cup juvenile victor favorite trick , was the worst example of this i ever saw with my own eyes .

and at the mid - point of the seven - furlong contest he appeared outpaced as auction house took the field along . but once the bullet had to be bitten in the final quarter mile and on the uphill run to the post , he was the one with the necessary reserves as richard hills sent him though a narrow gap between enrique and raise a grand , for which manoeuvre he earned a two - day ban from the stewards .
stravinsky , the irish challenger , launched a challenge which petered out in the closing stages , allowing auction house to stay on again into the runner - up spot . lujain was another whose stamina was found wanting as he beat only indian danehill , the most disappointing french colt .
the favourite was also turned over in the other group one feature , the champion stakes , though the result in this case was less of a shock as alborada , 6 - 1 , inched home from insatiable for his 51 - year - old jockey george duffield . the filly , owned and bred by kirsten rausing and trained locally by sir mark prescott , had chased the peerless swain home in the irish champion stakes and , given an inch - perfect ride by her partner , continued her upwardly mobile progress to hold insatiable ' s late thrust by a neck . the market leader daylami , feeling the effects of his recent trip to new york , battled on to take third place , two lengths adrift , in front of mutamam . prescott said :
george has ridden faultlessly every time he ' s got on this filly , but i ' m glad the post came when it did .
alborada - which means break of day in spanish - saw her first dawn only a few miles from the track at rausing ' s lanwades stud , still home of her dam and grand - dam .
although it sounds somewhat fanciful , she was special from the word go ,
said rausing .
and she is tough , too ; she broke a foot as a foal and had to come through 11 weeks confined to her box .
the marathon handicap the cesarewitch was remarkable for the small number of the 29 contenders who were ever in contention . the nine - length winner spirit of love , an 11 - 1 chance ridden by olivier peslier , was one of a small group who detached themselves from the rest in pursuit of bridie ' s pride . the three - year - old and his mark johnson - trained stablemate etterby park went past the leader three furlongs out ; one drew steadily away and the other repelled the nearest other boarder , spunkie , by a short - head .
the seven - year - old gelding , trained in sussex by lady herries , had been allowed into the pounds 577 , 000 contest only at the 11th - hour discretion of the local officials after it was discovered his earnings did not qualify him . then he had to survive a stewards inquiry to keep the race , one of the main trials for next month ' s melbourne cup .
his jockey ray cochrane , however , was handed a month ' s ban - which means he will miss the big one - and a pounds 7 , 600 fine after he was judged to have interfered with two rivals . the effort of faithful son , the godolphin representative , was good enough to ensure him a place in the melbourne cup .
