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.

Noble Style Returns At Newmarket

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. Friday's Observations features the return of a 'TDN Rising Star'.

5.10 Newmarket, Novice, £8,000, 2yo, 6fT
NOBLE STYLE (GB) (Kingman {GB}) makes his eagerly-awaited return from a setback that ruled him out of the G2 Coventry S., having been one of the forecast favourites for that contest after his impressive Ascot debut win. Earning TDN Rising Star status in that five-furlong novice in May, he has been sidelined while the fourth-placed Royal Scotsman (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) has gone from strength to strength as one of the year's leading juveniles. Charlie Appleby could have run the 525,000gns Book 1 graduate in Thursday's G2 Richmond S. against that rival, but opted instead for a softer reintroduction which can conceivably only be disrupted by the Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained Doncaster maiden winner Mill Stream (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}).
