WHAT an afternoon it was at the Curragh on Sunday for Darley’s super-sire Dubawi (Dubai Millennium). In addition to getting his 55th Group or Grade 1 winner on the board, thanks to the unbeaten Henry Longfellow, he followed up in the next race when Eldar Eldarov won the Irish St Leger, a year after he annexed the British equivalent.

Not only that, but Dubawi’s son Too Darn Hot, represented by his first runners in 2023, sired the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes heroine Fallen Angel. Another son of Dubawi, Night Of Thunder, added a pair of new stakes winners to his tally, notably Flight Plan in the Group 2 Dullingham Park Stakes at Leopardstown.
