Dubawi Phantom took his sire’s tally of winners for the season to nine with a length-and-a-quarter win in a seven-furlong maiden at Epsom on Thursday evening. The Dubawi colt beat Sea Lord, a colt by Cape Cross who was making his racecourse debut.
Bred by Plantation Stud, Dubawi Phantom is out of the In The Wings mare Anna Amalia and is a half-brother to the dual winner Ave. Among Dubawi’s other winners are the 90-rated Curtains and Godolphin’s Sand Vixen, who has been given a mark of 89p.
The same evening, Shamardal (pictured) recorded his fourth winner when Clarietta strolled to a two-and-a-half length win at Doncaster. Making just her second start, the John Dunlop-trained filly is a daughter of Hesmonds Stud’s Group Two-winning mare Claxon (Caerleon), dam of the Stakes winners Cassydora and Classic Remark.
Shamardal is leading first-season sire by number of winners in Australia, where his best performers include the Group Two runner-up Marquardt, while in Europe he is sire of the highly promising Shakespearean, who ran placed in last week’s Group Two Meydan Superlative Stakes at Newmarket.
