There were four Black Type races on the card at Newmarket on Friday, 29 September and the blue silks of Godolphin aptly provided the first three home in the 12-furlong Godolphin Stakes with Dubawi siring the first and second.
Red Galileo raced alone down the centre of the track while Frontiersman led the pack on the far side. Frontiersman took up the running two furlongs out and despite being hard pressed close to home by his paternal half-brother, won more easily than the half-length margin would suggest. Best Of Days completed the Godolphin trifecta, finishing three-quarters of a length back in third.
This was the fourth career victory for Frontiersman, who has recorded three wins to date at HQ.
Bred by Stanley Estate and Stud Co, Frontiersman is out of Cape Cross’s superb daughter Ouija Board, winner of the English and Irish Oaks, the Prince Of Wales’s Stales,the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf, the Nassau Stakes and the Hong Kong Vase.
Dubawi has now sired no fewer than 24 individual Black Type winners this year, including G1 winners Almanaar, Bateel, Sobetsu and Zarak (who lines up in this Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe).
