Dubawi

 ( 2002 Racehorse Births ) 

Dubawi (foaled 7 February 2002) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse. He has proven himself a top-class sire.

---

Background Dubawi is a bay horse with no white markings bred in Ireland by Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud. He was one of the only crop of foals sired by Dubai Millennium, an outstanding racehorse. His dam, Zomaradah was a top class racemare who won the Oaks d'Italia, E. P. Taylor Stakes, Premio Lydia Tesio and the Royal Whip Stakes. As a descendant of the broodmare Sunbittern, Zomaradah, who also produced the Lancashire Oaks winner Emirates Queen, was closely related to In the Wings, High-Rise and Virginia Waters. The colt raced in the blue colours of Godolphin Racing and was trained by Saeed bin Suroor. He was ridden in all but one of his races by Frankie Dettori.

Racing career Dubawi was undefeated as a two-year-old in 2004. He won a maiden race at Goodwood Racecourse in June, the Group races Superlative Stakes at Newmarket in July and the Group One National Stakes at the Curragh in September.

In the following year he started favourite for the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but finished fifth behind Footstepsinthesand. He defeated Oratorio in the Irish 2000 Guineas and then moved up in distance to finish third to Motivator in Epsom Derby. He returned to one mile to win the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville Racecourse in August and ended his career by finishing second to Starcraft in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot Racecourse a month later.

Stud record Dubawi stands as a breeding stallion at his owner's Dalham Hall Stud at a fee of £350,000 for the 2023 season.
