Dubawi’s three-year-old son Babakool gained his first Stakes victory on Friday, 30 August with a cosy success in the Listed Millkom Stakes at La Teste De Buch. He was registering his second victory for trainer Cristophe Ferland.
Settled just off the pace, jockey Stephane Pasquier asked for an effort two furlongs out and the colt hit the front and stuck on well to win a shade cosily by three quarters of a length.

Owned and bred by Wertheimer & Frere, he is out of the G3 winner Terrakova, herself a daughter of Champion race mare Goldikova.
Dubawi is having an excellent season, siring more Stakes winners than any other European stallion. His four G1 winners this year include two Classic winners in Notable Speech (2,000 Guineas) and Ezeliya (Oaks), plus globetrotters Rebel’s Romance who has won G1s in both the UAE and Hong Kong, plus Master Of The Seas, winner of the G1 Maker’s Mark Mile at Keeneland.
