On the same weekend that Dubawi celebrated his third G1 winner, a colt from his third crop topped the SGA Yearling Sale, Italy's premier thoroughbred auction, which is held in Milan.
Consigned by Azienda Agricola Colarieti, the colt, who had attracted much attention prior to the start of the sale, is out of Kathy College and fetched €190,000. Like Saturday's G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes winner Poet's Voice, who is also a son of Dubawi, the sales-topper will race next year for Sheikh Mohammed.
Dubawi was also responsible for another of the top ten lots of the sale when a colt out of Baladewa from the Sant'Agostino e Vulci consignment, who is already named Babawi, fetched €75,000.
Authorized, whose first yearlings are selling this autumn, was responsible for the third top lot of the sale overall and the highest priced filly when Maria Vezzera, out of La Virtu, realised €105,000 on a successful bid from Scuderia Rencati, best known as the owners of Falbrav.
Il Gloco, a colt by the late Singspiel out of Ginevra di Camelot, fetched €95,000 after being knocked down to Scuderia Diego Romeo, while a daughter of leading first-season sire Iffraaj topped trade on the second day of the sale when selling to successful breeze-up consignor Con Marnane for €38,000.
