Dubawi Colt Struts His Stuff En Route To Rising Stardom

Well-touted and well-related, Local Dynasty (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}-Really Special {GB}, by Shamardal) gave every impression he was idling just over two furlongs from home, before cruising past his rivals and rocketing up the rising ground for an 3 1/2-length victory at Newmarket on Friday. The 30th 'TDN Rising Star' for his Darley sire, the bay was the 15-8 favourite in this debut.

Tucked in behind in an ideal tracking position, Local Dynasty gave every appearance of sitting on a big effort, and backed that impression up in style. Nearing the 600-metre mark, James Doyle said go, and the colt began improving out on the stands' side. Given one right-hander, he hit another gear 1 1/2 furlongs from home and put the race to bed in a matter of strides. It was a two-way battle for second between Onslow Gardens (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) and Paisano (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), with the former gaining the advantage by an 1 3/4 lengths.

The race was delayed for several minutes, as the colt's Charlie Appleby-trained stablemate City Of Kings (GB) (Kingman {GB}) unseated rider Jack Mitchell, and was later scratched.

Out of the Listed Montrose Fillies S. heroine Really Special, Local Dynasty is her second foal, runner, and winner. He has a weanling half-sister by Sea The Stars (Ire). The dam, a daughter of listed winner and top-producer Rumh (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), is a half-sister to the Dubawi headliners Yibir (GB), who won the GI Breeders' Cup Turf in 2021 and triple top-level winner Wild Illusion (GB), second in both the 2018 G1 Oaks  and the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Third dam Royal Dubai (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}), successful in the 2002 G3 Preis der Winterkonigin, is a half-sister to the GI Beverly D. S. heroine Royal Highness (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}).

Dubawi has already sired five stakes winners out of Shamardal mares, including G2 Balanchine S. heroine Creative Flair (Ire), and G3 Autumn S. winner and G1 Futurity Trophy second One Ruler (Ire), like Local Dynasty, Godolphin homebreds.

Relative Of Eminent Debuts At Sandown

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Thursday's Observations features a relative of Group 2 winner Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}).

4.38 Deauville, Debutantes, €27,000, 2yo, c/g, 6fT
WILLIAM TELL (FR) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) at €420,000 was the joint-second highest-priced lot at last year's Arqana Deauville October Yearling Sale and debuts days after that auction's topper Denmark (GB) (Camelot {GB}) made an impressive winning racecourse bow. Trained by Andre Fabre for Godolphin, the January-foaled Ecurie Des Monceaux-bred black colt is out of a half-sister to the triple Group 1-winning sire Charm Spirit (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}).

 

6.36 Sandown, Mdn, £9,900, 2yo, 8fT
HIGH HONOUR (GB) (Frankel {GB}) debuts in the maiden won in recent years by the sire's Westover (GB) and also by Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and made a splash at the Book 1 when selling for 900,000gns, being out of a half-sister to Frankel's G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano and G3 Craven S.-winning sire Eminent (Ire). Starting for Godolphin and Charlie Appleby, who have won this twice in the past five years and whose first-string Desert Order (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) will be a warm order having been third in a strong Newmarket July Festival maiden, the February-foaled bay is also up against another experienced rival who carries gravitas in Juddmonte's Arrest (GB) (Frankel {GB}). One of three to top the 2020 Goffs November Foal Sale, the John and Thady Gosden-trained colt will give an early indication as to the merit of the operation's TDN Rising Star Nostrum (GB) (Kingman {GB}) who beat him into third over seven here last month.

Thanks to increased support from leading Irish breeders we have grown the catalogue whilst maintaining the quality across both days and I extend our thanks to every vendor as we are nothing without their beautiful yearlings. This country is synonymous with the Thoroughbred and we are so proud to bring international buyers to view even more of the best yearlings Ireland has to offer in the unrivalled sales complex at Kildare Paddocks this September.

“The introduction of the Goffs Million last year proved a huge hit with buyers and this year's race at the Curragh on Saturday, 24 Sept. will be a wonderful way to kick off the Orby Sale week when the contenders for the 2023 Million will be on offer within days.”
