Dubawi Gold, by Dalham Hall stallion Dubawi, won his second successive Listed race on Saturday April 9, when landing the International Trial Stakes at Lingfield Park over a mile.
Successful in the Listed Spring Cup over seven-furlongs on his last start, he raced closer to the pace than on that occasion but took a fierce hold under Richard Hughes. Taking the lead rounding the bend, he held on bravely in the final furlong to win by half-a-length. He holds an entry in the 2,000 Guineas on April 30, and may attempt to emulate his paternal half-brother Makfi, who won the race last season.
Bred by A H Bennett, Dubawi Gold is out of the Green Desert mare Savannah Belle, herself a daughter of G2 Ribblesdale winner Third Watch.
Dubawi, who stands this season for £55,000, has made the best start of any stallion to a stud career since the inception of the Pattern, siring 11 Group winners from his European crops, including the exceptional G1 milers Makfi and Poet's Voice.
