Hill 'n' Dale's Curlin has been good to Godolphin this season, having accounted for GI Forego S. upsetter Cody's Wish, and the 'Boys in Blue' take the wraps off the stallion's daughter POBLANO Saturday afternoon. Drawn the rail and pegged at morning-line odds of 12-1 that seem overlaid, the Apr. 16 foal is out of Kinda Spicy (A.P. Indy), perfect in two starts in an abbreviated racing career who has since gone on to produce Avery Island (Street Sense), winner of the GII Nashua S. and runner-up to future MGISW Catholic Boy (More Than Ready) in the GII Remsen S. at two and in the GIII Withers S. at three, defeating Firenze Fire (Poseidon's Warrior). Poblano's second dam, Isola Piu Bella (Chi) (Rich Man's Gold), was Chile's Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old filly of 2004 and was a dual graded winner for Sumaya U S Stables once transferred to this country. Kinda Spicy is the second of just two foals from Isola Piu Bella, who passed away in 2009. Poblano appears to be working well for the debut, including a strong half-mile move in :47 4/5 (3/57) over the Keeneland main track Oct. 7 and bullet drills prior to that at The Thoroughbred Center.

SOURCES AND USES (City of Light) is the first foal out of Ultimate Cause (Giant's Causeway), who was purchased by Richard Masson's Green Lantern Stables with this filly in utero for $310,000 at the 2019 Keeneland November Sale. The 9-year-old mare is a daughter of SW & GSP Supreme (Empire Maker), whose son Silver State (Hard Spun) proved best in the 2021 GI Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan H. and now holds court at Claiborne Farm. Third dam Mon Belle (Maria's Mon) is a full-sister to GI Kentucky Derby hero Monarchos and was also responsible for the three-times stakes-placed Spark (Speightstown). Among the competition is Erna (Curlin), a $135,000 Keeneland September yearling turned $600,000 OBS April breezer who hails from the female family of Grade I-winning turf filly Magnificent Song (Unbridled's Song).

Dubawi’s Local Dynasty Takes The Silver Tankard

Labelled a TDN Rising Star on his winning debut over seven furlongs at Newmarket Aug. 5, Godolphin's Local Dynasty (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Really Special {GB}, by Shamardal) was fifth in a strong edition of York's G3 Acomb S. 12 days later before returning to winning ways in a Sandown mile novice Sept. 14. Sent off the even-money favourite for Monday's Listed British Stallion Studs EBF Silver Tankard S. at Pontefract, the Charlie Appleby-trained relative of Dubawi's luminaries Yibir (GB) and Wild Illusion (GB) was sheltered behind the pace early by William Buick. Staying on down the outer to overhaul Luckin Brew (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) in the final strides, the homebred scored by a neck. “The ground is quite testing and it turned into a bit of a slog,” the winning rider said. “He really stuck his head out.”

The Listed Montrose Fillies S.-winning dam, who has a yearling filly by Sea The Stars (Ire), is a daughter of the fellow listed-winning Rumh (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) who produced the aforementioned Breeders' Cup Turf hero Yibir and G1 Prix de l'Opera and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac scorer Wild Illusion (GB) who was also second in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. The third dam is the G3 Preis der Winterkonigin winner Royal Dubai (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}), a half-sister to the GI Beverly D. S. heroine Royal Highness (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}).
