Fourteen winners for Dubawi

Kavak scores by four-and-a-half lengths to become the latest winner for his first-season sire

Just two days after notching his last winner, Dubawi's run of success showed no signs of abating when, on 8 August, the first-season sire increased his number of winners to 14 with a convincing victory for Kavak over 1600m at Lingfield in the UK.

The Marco Botti-trained colt was settled off the pace under Darryll Holland before making his move two furlongs from home. He took the lead a furlong out and despite hanging left in the closing stages, drew clear of his rivals to win by four-and-a-half-lengths.

Bred by Grundy Bloodstock, Kavak is out of the Kris mare Kelang, who is also dam of three Black type performers including Listed winner Bukat Timah and Kayak (Singspiel), and is from the family of the great Oh So Sharp.

Dubawi, whose first southern hemisphere crop have just turned two, will stand at Kelvinside Stud this year at a fee of $16,500.
