EVERYTHING about New Bay (Dubawi) says that we can expect to see the best from his runners as they get older. With that in mind, he has made a sensational start at stud and his first crop numbers seven individual winners at the time of writing.

The most recent of these was Amber Kite and this Ger Lyons-trained winner over seven furlongs at Gowran Park last weekend was, at the time of her victory, one of just nine runners for New Bay. What a strike-rate for a stallion who only raced once himself at two, making a belated debut, finishing second, in late November 2014 for André Fabre and in the colours of Prince Khalid Abdullah.
