Dubawi - Irish 2000 Guineas (2005)

Top-level winner as a juvenile, Classic winner as a three-year-old, bouncing back from disappointment in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, the real Dubawi bounds clear uder Frankie Dettori to win the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas the Curragh for trainer Saeed bin Suroor, jockey Frankie Dettori and Godolphin.

A cdreditable third in the Derby at Epsom next time, Dubawi emulated his sire Dubai Millenium later in the season with a decisive victory in the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville.

Now regarded as one of the best stallions on the planet, Dubawi has sired the likes of Classic winners Makfi, New Bay and Night Of Thunder in recent years. Dubawi stands at Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket at a fee of £250,000.
