Ghaiyyath
Crowned the World’s Best Racehorse of 2020 following four dominant G1 victories, achieved by a combined margin of over 21 lengths. An eight-time Group winner across two to five, defeating champions including Enable and Magical in elite company.
The highest-rated son of Dubawi – one of the most influential sires in the modern era, out of a G1-winning daughter of Galileo, combining two of the world’s most powerful sire lines.
Now returned to Victoria, he has made an immediate impact at stud, delivering an outstanding 11% Stakes winners-to-runners from his first southern hemisphere crop and establishing himself as a highly sought-after classic sire.
