DUBAWI sired his 28th individual Group 1 winner at the weekend when Sobetsu landed the Prix Saint-Alary. She joins the likes of four-time Group 1 hero Postponed, recently retired due to injury, the 2000 Guineas winners Night Of Thunder and Makfi, French Derby winner New Bay and the Dubai World Cup winners Monterosso and Prince Bishop on the sire’s roll of honour.

Dubawi has mated relatively little with Darshaan mares and from just five runners to date the cross has been responsible for the four-time Group 1 winner and now sire Al Kazeem, as well as Coronet who was third behind Sobetsu on Sunday.
