Djebel (1937-1958) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse. Sired by Tourbillon, a stallion owned by Marcel Boussac, who had won the French Derby and the Prix Lupin, and went on to become a notable sire. Toubillon's dam-sire was the 1914 Derby winner Durbar.
Djebel's dam, Loika, was by Gay Crusader and out of Coeur a Coeur. Gay Crusader was the 1917 U.K. Triple Crown champion, and by the influential Bayardo. Coeur a Coeur was by Teddy, whose grandsire was the 1899 English Triple Crown champion Flying Fox. Therefore, Djebel traced back to Bay Ronald twice through his dam (both Bayardo and Teddy's dam-sire were by Bay Ronald). Loika produced seven winners, the greatest of which was Djebel.
[edit] Racing career
In his 22 starts, Djebel won 15, placed second in three, and finished third in one. His wins included the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (FR), the 2,000 Guineas (GB), Prix des Sablons (FR), Prix Boiard (FR) x2, Prix d'Harcourt x2 (FR), Prix d'Hedouville x2 (FR), Grand Prix de St. Cloud (FR), Prix d'Essai (FR), Prix Lagrange (FR), and Gimcrack Stakes. (GB). He finished second in the Prix Morny (FR), Grand Prix de St. Cloud (FR), and Prix de Chantilly (FR), and third in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (FR).
Djebel was the Champion two-year-old in France. He was also the leading money winner as a three-year-old and five-year-old.
[edit] Breeding career
Djebel was fairly influential in the breeding of sport horses. He sired the great My Babu, who was first an excellent racehorse and sire whose progeny include the eventer JJ Babu. Djebel is also seen in the pedigree of dressage horse Bolero. Djebel was the sire of Djeddah who was the damsire of Never Bend.
In France, he was the leading sire for four years (1947, 1948, 1949, and 1956), second in 1950, and in the top ten in 1952-54. In the twelve-year period from 1946 and 1958, his sons and daughters won 318 races, altogether worth FF342,736,777.
