Safety Check shines at Meydan

A month after his four-length victory in the G2 Al Fahidi Fort, Dubawi’s hugely talented son Safety Check recorded another impressive victory at this level when landing the Zabeel Mile at Meydan.

Travelling well throughout under William Buick, the Godolphin colt quickened up impressively once asked to make his effort, sweeping past his rivals to win by a length. His time of 1.35:53 was a new track record.

His win comes just over two hours after Dubawi’s Dubday landed his second Qatari G1 contest, winning HH The Emir’s Trophy for the second consecutive year.

Bred by Malih al Basti, Safety Check is the first foal out of the unraced Royal Academy mare Doors To Manual – a half-sister to G1 winner Marchand de Sable. The mare is currently in foal to Champion two-year-old and World Champion three-year-old Sprinter Sepoy.

Dubawi, who sired five G1 winners last year alone and also in 2014 became the fastest sire ever to record 50 Group winners, stands at Dalham Hall Stud at a fee of £125,000 October 1st SLF.
