Family 22-b
Jarraar was among the sounder and more durable sons of Mr. Prospector, but he was not among the most talented; winning a Grade 3 stakes proved to be the upper limit of his ability. Nevertheless, that level of performance plus an excellent pedigree was enough to make him a reasonably valuable commodity for the export market. Sent to Brazil, he died after two seasons at stud but was quite successful given the opportunities he had, siring two Brazilian champions in Jarrinho and Tale e Quale.

Foaled in Kentucky, Jarraar was bred by Darley Stud Management.

In 1993, he was exported to Brazil, where he stood two seasons at Haras Pemale before his death.
