brocade or regard as a good omen
"brocade" would be the translation for "istabraq" with the last letter being the guttural sounding "qaf".
"regard as a good omen" translates "istabrak" with the softer sounding last letter "Kaf". Considering that the name is for a horse race, the meaning would fit better with this rendition. However, who knows what the owner had in mind when naming the horse?!

اسـتبرق
This word is of a Persian origin, but has been used by Arabs since pre-Islamic times. It refers to brocaded cloth, especially if brocaded with gold. It has been used as a personal name as well. It is rarely used today.
