Two G2 winners in two days for Dubawi

Poet's Voice lands the G2 Champagne Stakes; Stakes double for Cape Cross

Poet's Voice became Dubawi's second G2 winner in as many days on Saturday when he landed the Champagne Stakes on Town Moor.

Sent to the front straight from the stalls, and although fairly keen early on, he never saw another rival running out a three-quarter length victor. This was his second victory from four starts and he holds G1 entries in the Middle Park Stakes, Dewhurst Stakes and Racing Post Trophy later this season.

Poet's Voice is a Darley homebred out of the Chief's Crown mare Bright Tiara, the dam of Japanese Group One runner-up Gold Tiara, by Dubawi's grandsire Seeking The Gold.

Dubawi is currently the leading freshman stallion in Europe with 22 individual winners, including yesterday's G2 Flying Childers Stakes winner Sand Vixen.

Cape Cross, Europe's leading stallion by win prize-money, enjoyed another successful day when his admirable son Mac Love won the G3 Select Stakes at Goodwood and his daughter Valletta scored at Listed level in the Grand Prix Inter Regional des 3 Ans at La Teste. Mac Love was recording his tenth career victory and third at G3 level in 2009 after being successful in the Diomed Stakes and Sovereign Stakes.
