DUBAWI day. That was the main story as Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Sale got underway on Tuesday. Seventeen yearlings on the day sold for 500,000gns or more and seven of these were by the Darley stallion.

Represented by his 25th Group or Grade 1 winner on Sunday when Wuheida became his first juvenile winner at the highest level in the Prix Marcel Boussac, Dubawi was responsible for both seven-figure yearlings during the opening session. Furthermore, six of the seven Dubawi yearlings on this list were purchased by John Ferguson.
