The Dalham Hall Stud resident, a multiple Group 1-winning son of Dubai World Cup champion Dubai Millennium, had 18 individual winners, undoubtedly topped by the world's top-rated horse, Ghaiyyath, who won the Group 3 at Meydan named after his grandfather.
Other standouts to win locally for the world's premier multi-surface stud included G2 Al Maktoum Challenge R2 and G2 Singspiel winner Benbatl, G3 Mahab Al Shimaal victor Wafy and late-blooming listed The Entisar winner Firnas.
A clear second was the recently deceased Shamardal, who had an impressive 11 individual winners scoring 13 times. G2 Zabeel Mile winner Zakouski topped the lot, while swift DWC Carnival-winning Almanaara and dual handicap winner Untold Secret added depth to his influence.
