WITH his first foals arriving this spring, the only measurement we have so far of the popularity of Dubawi Legend, a son of the legendary Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) is the see how many mares he covered last year, his first at Starfield Stud. The answer is a resounding thumbs up, as he had a book of more than 120 mares, many owned by some of the best-known commercial breeders.

In combination with being a son of an outstanding sire of sires, being among the leading juveniles of his year, and being a son of a stakes-winning mare by Raven’s Pass (Elusive Quality), the broodmare sire of Mishriff (stands for €17,500) and Saffron Beach (sold for 3,600,000gns), Dubawi Legend stands for an attractive fee of €6,000.
