Jungle Edge (Dubawi) put up yet another tenacious performance on Saturday, 18 November, adding a 12th career victory and third at Group level to his record when landing the G3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes at Sandown in Australia.
Jungle Edge led throughout, opening up a big lead in the middle stages of the six-and-a-half-furlong race and battled superbly close to home to win by a head from Casino Wizard.
His victory comes a week after Ball Of Muscle, another member of Dubawi’s last Australian crop, won a Listed race at Flemington.
Bred by his former trainer Chris Strickland, Jungle Edge is from a solid female family. His dam Jungle Girl has produced four winners from as many foals to race, with her own dam Out Of Africa also maintaining a perfect record with seven winners from seven runners.
Dubawi has enjoyed a truly magnificent year with his runners, siring no fewer than eight G1 winners to take his career total to 33.
Dubawi will stand the forthcoming season at Dalham Hall Stud a fee of £250,000 Oct 1, Special Live Foal.
