Founder of a dynasty with over 15 stallion sons in Europe, and still at the height of his powers: Notable Speech is his fourth 2,000 Guineas winner, making him the Classic’s most successful sire since the start of the Pattern, outdoing Northern Dancer. Yet more juvenile Group winners in 2024, including G1 colts Ancient Truth and Delacroix – who won the same G3 as Dubawi’s future Horse of the Year (and best yet) Ghaiyyath. His 2024 yearling average, £830k, is his highest since 2016.
