Eternal Stakes victory for Khor Sheed

Dubawi filly wins her second Listed race at Warwick

Dubawi's three-year-old filly, Khor Sheed landed her second Stakes win of her career on Thursday June 16, when easily landing the Listed Eternal Stakes at Warwick by two-and-a-quarter lengths. A very good juvenile when winning the Listed Empress Stakes at Newmarket, she has been very consistent and came here on the back of narrow defeat in the Kilvington Fillies' Stakes at Nottingham. She has now raced eight times and has only been out of first three once, amassing prize-money of over £115,000 in the process.

Bred by Card Bloodstock and sold as a yearling to her trainer Luca Cumani for 42,000Gns, she is a half-sister to the G1 Prix d'Ispahan winner, Prince Kirk, out of the Manila mare, Princess Manila.

Thirty-five minutes later in France, Dubawi came within a nose of registering a Stakes double, when his three-year-old daughter Riqa just failed in the Listed Prix la Sorellina. The Freddy Head trained filly, has now been runner-up in Stakes company on her last two starts.

One of the hottest stallions in the world at the moment, Dubawi is again having a stellar season. Now sire of 11 Stakes winners in 2011, he also has six G1-horses including the Gamely Stakes winner Dubawi Heights, Monterosso and Worthadd, both G2 winners who have placed at the highest level and Dubawi Gold, a multiple Listed winner who ran second in both the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas.
