Desert Wisdom, a four-year-old son of Dubawi, gained his first Group victory on Saturday, 5 March in the G3 Burj Nahaar. Run over Meydan’s one-mile dirt track, Desert Wisdom was held up early before making his move at the top of the straight, running on well to record a one-and-a-half length victory.
A 70,000 Dirhams graduate of Godolphin’s Racing In Dubai Sale, Desert Wisdom is the second Group winner bred out of the Stakes-winning Pivotal mare Tulips, after last seasons G1 Natalma Stakes heroine Wild Beauty. Tulips, who is from the extended family of St Leger winner Mastery, is due to visit Pinatubo this season.
Dubawi is fast approaching 150 individual Group winners with Desert Wisdom becoming his 146th, a figure unmatched by any active stallion. Dubawi has now sired five Group winners in 2022 after Lazuli, Naval Crown, Creative Flair and Royal Fleet.
