Dubawi’s Fairy Cross Makes All For Prestige Triumph

Goldophin's homebred 2-year-old filly Fairy Cross (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Devonshire {Ire}, by Fast Company {Ire}), who ran second in last month's Listed Star S. at Sandown, employed enterprising tactics in Saturday's G3 William Hill Prestige S. at Goodwood and was rewarded with a career high in the seven-furlong fillies' test. The 2-1 favourite was swiftly into stride and held sway from the outset. Shaken up when threatened at the quarter-mile marker, she poached a decisive advantage approaching the final furlong and was ridden out to hold Breege (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) and Bright Diamond (Ire) (El Kabeir) by a length and 3/4-of-a-length in snug fashion.

“I've just spoken to William [Buick], he said she's got plenty of natural pace and I'm delighted with that performance,” said Charlie Appleby of the G2 Rockfel S. and G1 Fillies' Mile entry. “He sees no reason why she won't be able to step up to the mile later on, but she's very comfortable at seven furlongs for the moment. There's no set plans or future targets, but she's a filly that's progressing nicely.”

Fairy Cross becomes the 155th pattern-race winner for her sire (by Dubai Millennium {GB}) and the first for G2 Ridgewood Pearl S. victrix and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas third Devonshire (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}). Her second dam Nova Tor (Ire) (Trans Island {GB}) produced Listed Harry Rosebery S. winner Hurryupharriet (Ire) (Camacho {GB}), herself the dam of Listed Betway Kachy S. scorer Exalted Angel (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}). Nova Tor's half-sister Titian Saga (Ire) (Titus Livius {Fr}) is the dam of G1 Nunthorpe S. heroine Winter Power (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}), Listed Land O'Burns Fillies' S. victrix Hay Chewed (Ire) (Camacho {GB}) and the stakes-placed Flying Sparkle (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}). Devonshire has a yearling colt by Blue Point (Ire) and a weanling colt by Ghaiyyath (Ire) to come.

Godolphin Goes to €2 million For Dubawi Colt At Arqana

A son of Dubawi (Ire) (lot 292) went to Anthony Stroud on behalf of Godolphin for €2 million during the third and final session of the Arqana August Sale on Monday. He is the fourth seven-figure yearling of the three-day stand. Out of G3 Prix Minerve heroine Golden Valentine (Fr) (Dalakhani {Ire}), the bay colt was consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux. His second dam, G3 Prix Cleopatre victress Gold Round (Ire) (Caerleon), is responsible for no less than seven black-type horses, with four stakes winners to her credit. She is, in turn, a half-sister to the outstanding three-time GI Breeders' Cup Mile heroine Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa).

Dubawi’s Rebel’s Romance Celebrates Career High In Germany

Godolphin's 2021 G2 UAE Derby hero Rebel's Romance (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Minidress {GB}, by Street Cry {Ire}) ended a two-race losing streak with victory in June's Listed Fred Archer S. at Newmarket, adding to his resume in Goodwood's G3 Glorious S. last month, and justified favouritism for a career high in Sunday's G1 Westminster 132nd Grosser Preis von Berlin at Hoppegarten. The March-foaled gelding, unbeaten on the turf, was positioned in rear with just one rival behind for most of this 12-furlong test. Scrubbed along to reduce arrears off the home turn, the 17-10 pick launched his challenge out wide with 350 metres remaining and stayed on strongly under continued rousting inside the final furlong to hold the late rattle of Nerik (Ire) (Ruler Of The World {Ire}) by a neck in ultimately snug fashion.

“He had a different start to most of our horses and we initially trained him for the dirt,” explained winning rider James Doyle. “He ended up winning the [G2] UAE Derby and I have to say it seems like he's definitely improved for the switch to turf. He came into today's race relatively unexposed, he'd only had a couple of starts on turf and he's taken to it well. He was a bit boisterous beforehand and I wanted to make sure that he was relaxed properly first. He travelled round pretty smoothly, they didn't go much of a pace and I ended up a little bit further back than ideal. He showed a good kick at the top of the straight and I thought he did a super job there today.”

Rebel's Romance, who becomes the 53rd Group 1 winner for his sire, is the leading performer out of Listed Height Of Fashion S. second Minidress (GB) (Street Cry {Ire}), whose three scorers include Listed Cairn Rouge S. third Petticoat (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}). Minidress is a full-sister to G3 Nad Al Sheba Trophy victor Volcanic Sky (GB), with both being produced by G3 Musidora S.-winning G1 Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks placegetter Short Skirt (GB) (Diktat {GB}). Rebel Romance's third dam is the excellent producer Much Too Risky (GB) (Bustino {GB}), who has four stakes winners to her credit headed by G2 Prix de Pomone winner Whitewater Affair (GB) (Machiavellian), herself the dam of the multiple Group 1-winning Dubai World Cup hero Victoire Pisa (Jpn) (Neo Universe {Jpn}) and G1 Yasuda Kinen winner Asakusa De'nen (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}). Short Skirt's three-parts brother Little Rock (GB) (Warning {GB}) annexed the G2 Princess of Wales's S. while Much Too Risky is kin to G1 Irish St Leger hero Arctic Owl (GB) (Most Welcome {GB}) and G1 Sydney Cup winner Marooned (GB) (Mill Reef). Minidress has the hitherto unraced 2-year-old colt Measured Time (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and a yearling filly by Golden Horn (GB) to come.

Breeders’ Cup Winner Yibir Sustains Setback And Will Not Travel Stateside

Last year's Breeders' Cup hero Yibir (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) will not travel Stateside for his next start, after meeting with a setback, Godolphin announced via Twitter. The Charlie Appleby trainee ran out a half-length winner of the GI Breeders' Cup Turf in November and narrowly reported home second in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan in March. Returned to the country of his birth, he filled that position again in the G2 Jockey Club S. at Newmarket at the end of April and was third in the GI Man o' War S. back in New York on May 14. His latest effort was a 2 1/4-length win in the G2 Princess Of Wales's S. at Newmarket on July 7, and he had been pointing to the GI Sword Dancer S. at Saratoga on Aug. 27.

“Unfortunately, Yibir has met with a slight setback and will no longer be heading to the US for his next intended start,” Godolphin tweeted on Saturday morning.
