Son of Dubawi steals the show at final session of Book 2

Dubawi had just the one representative in Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and demand for the sire's progeny remained high as the colt out of Brazilian Samba provided the Dalham Hall resident with his fourth session-topper of the October Sale after Godolphin chief executive John Ferguson went to 300,000gns for the Croom House Stud-consigned lot on Wednesday.

Ferguson had also secured two of the sire's three top lots during Book 1, parting with 2,600,000gns for a colt out of Fallen For You during the opening session and 2,100,000gns for son of Nature Spirits the following day.

Wednesday's session-topper is a half-brother to the Group 2 winner Endowing and shares his page with Irish 2,000 Guineas winners Henrythenavigator and Magician.

"He's a May foal and we decided he'd stand out in this sale," said Croom House Stud's Denis Brosnan, who had previously offered the likes of Mehmas and Zoffany in the Park Paddocks ring. "We probably placed him well and we're delighted with that result."
