Pedigree notes
Horse of the Year and Champion older horse in Europe. Four G1 wins and Group winner at two, three, four and five-years-old showing soundness and consistency.
G1 Statistics
60 individuals (Dubawi) worldwide G1 winners feature mares by most of the major commercial sire lines sent to him. They include mares from the Sadler’s Wells, Galileo line, the Danzig, Danehill line and the Mr Prospector, Machiavellian, Street Cry, Darshan, Green Desert line.
Best Nicks
Dubawi has sired close to 300 Stakes winners worldwide and the best crosses are with Anabaa, Barathea, Invincible Spirit, Galileo, Singspiel, Dansili, Green Desert, Montjeu, Sadler’s Wells, Shamardal, Monsun, Street Cry, Danehill and Giant’s Causeway. Young stallions often nick along the same lines as their sires especially if their broodmare sire is compatible, these are all promising indicators for Ghaiyyath.
Inbreeding / Linebreeding options
Ghaiyyath is the product of two of the world’s most successful crosses, the Dubai Millennium, Galileo and Shirley Heights, Sadler’s Wells. The key names found in these crosses include the influential mares Special, Lalun, Where You Lead, Urban Sea and Allegretta, presenting numerous opportunities to plan successful inbreeding strategies.

Introducing Redoute’s Choice has also had major success.
