Making Waves: Guineas Scorer Adds Woodbine Mile To His Haul

[Wandering Eyes]

   In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by the victory of Notable Speech at Woodbine.

Dubawi Classic Winner Shines At Woodbine

Godolphin homebred Notable Speech arrived late on the scene to take the GI Rogers Woodbine Mile for Charlie Appleby on September 13 (video).

The son of Dubawi won the G1 2,000 Guineas last year and defeated older milers in the G1 Sussex Stakes. He is a son of the group-placed Swift Rose (Invincible Spirit), herself a half-sister to Group 3 winner Desert Wisdom (Dubawi) and to Frankel's GI Natalma Stakes winner Wild Beauty. He has a half-sister to come in juvenile Moonlit Rose (Pinatubo) and a yearling full-sister.

Darley's Dubawi has sired 47 winners from 90 runners (52%) in the U.S. and Canada. Notable Speech is his 26th stakes winner and 11th Grade I winner to strike there.

Besilu Homebred Graduates In New York

Besilu Stables' Noble Dynasty (Kingman) graduated at second asking during the Belmont at the Big A meeting on Saturday (video). Trained by Bill Mott, the homebred juvenile colt is out of Delta's Royalty (Galileo).

Second on debut, the maternal grandson of triple Eclipse Award earner Royal Delta (Empire Maker) is a half-brother to the yearling filly Royal Victoria (Into Mischief) and a weanling filly by Gun Runner. Royal Delta, a GI Breeders' Cup Distaff winner, was acquired by Ben Leon's Besilu Stables for $8.5 million to top the 2011 Keeneland November Sale. Delta's Royalty is the only foal out of her champion dam, who died from foaling complications after producing her.

Juddmonte's Kingman counts Noble Dynasty as his 49th winner from 84 to race in North America (58%). Domestic Spending is his best there, with a tally in the GI Manhattan Stakes, and he is supported by eight additional stakes winners.

Repeat Winners

No Show Sammy Jo (Lope De Vega) is now a two-time winner of Laurel Park's All Along Stakes after her victory on September 13 (video). Racing for Bridlewood Farm and Madaket Stables, the five-year-old mare–second in the 2024 GIII Long Island Stakes–is trained by Graham Motion.
