BREEDERS’ Cup 2017 was a great one for Team Godolphin and one of the highlights was the victory of Wuheida in the Grade 1 Filly and Mare Turf. This was a third win, and second at the highest level, for the daughter of Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) and she thus became her sire’s eighth winner at this level in 2017. As a juvenile this home-bred won the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac.

Wuheida is the best of the pair of winners to date from the Singspiel (In The Wings) mare Hibaayeb. She won the Group 1 Fillies Mile at two and the following year added the Grade 1 Yellow Ribbon Stakes in the USA. These two Group 1 winners have revived a branch of a female line that has made quite an impact over many years. Hibaayeb has a yearling own-sister to Wuheida and is back in foal to Dubawi.
