Lot 124: Dubawi (IRE) x Without You Babe (USA)
The final lot to sell for 1,000,000 guineas on the opening day was the DUBAWI colt out of the LEMON DROP KID mare WITHOUT YOU BABE. Consigned by Newsells Park Stud, the colt is a half-brother to the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner TAMARKUZ and the Group 1 St James’ Palace Stakes winner WITHOUT PAROLE.
Bred by John Gunther, the DUBAWI colt was knocked down to trainer Kevin Ryan on behalf of Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.
“Sheikh Mohammed Obaid loved the horse, and he knows more about the sire than anyone – he likes to pick horses that have similarities. He told me that if I liked him to buy him – it is wonderful to be able to buy horses such as this.
“The colt has a great pedigree, is a gorgeous horse by a fantastic sire.”
Ryan has had horses for Obaid for the past season and said: “He is a lovely man to train for, very patient. He has been in the game a long time and seen the highs and the lows – there is no pressure from him. It is wonderful to have his support.”
