Dubawi has already been represented by seven black type performers in the northern hemisphere and his first Australian crop received a boost when Golden Millennium won the Listed Cargo Bar Keith Mackay Quality at Randwick on Saturday. Lonhro filly Parables finished less than a length back in third.
Golden Millennium is the last foal of the Eagle Eyed mare Manyara, who died last year. She was bred by Mrs J S McKay and has now won and been placed twice in five runs. Dubawi is also the sire of the highly consistent Cellarmaster, a Group Three winner and Group One place-getter in New Zealand.
Star of Octagonal (Octagonal) took out the following race, the G3 Bacardi South Pacific Classic, prevailing by half a length in the 1400m event. The three-year-old gelding, who was bred by Woodbury Pty Ltd, has returned in the money in each of his five career starts.
The first of three top-flight races on the Randwick card was the Patinack Farm AJC Oaks, in which Shamardal’s dual Group One winner Faint Perfume posted a game effort from her stalking position near the rear of the pack, running on strongly to take second.
