The world’s top-rated galloper Ghaiyyath (Dubawi-Nighttime by Galileo) produced another devastating front running performance to win the ten furlong Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes at York on Thursday, his third Group 1 victory in succession.
Rated the top horse on last month’s Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings, the Dubawi five-year-old defeated a field which contained three other Group 1 winners this season including his paternal half-brother Lord North (Dubawi), who finished third, and 2000 Guineas victor Kameko.
Ghaiyyath, who is one of 43 Group 1 winners for his world-leading sire Dubawi, is bred on the same highly successful Dubawi/ Galileo cross that has also produced sire of the moment Night Of Thunder.
Little Avondale Stud stand the only son of Dubawi at stud in NZ, the dual Group 2 winner and Ascot track record breaker Time Test (Dubawi-Passage of Time by Dansili). Standing for a one-off service fee of $6,000 plus GST in 2020, Time Test’s book, which is limited to 130 mares, is almost full.
