Horse-racing: Dubawi retired to stud
LONDON, Oct 8: Dubawi, easy winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas, will miss the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Belmont Park in New York on Oct. 29 and has been retired to stud after injuring a hind ligament, owners Godolphin said on Friday.
The colt, a son of the great Dubai Millennium, was Godolphin’s best three-year old this season, winning the Irish classic and the Prix Jacques Le Marois in France.
Dubawi also finished third in the Epsom Derby and second in his final race, the Queen Elizabeth 11 Stakes run at Newmarket last month when jockey Frankie Dettori came under fire for tracking the wrong horse and losing by half a length.
Trainer Saeed bin Suroor told the Godolphin website: “He was a great racehorse by a great stallion.”—Reuters
