Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 27, 2021 Journalists Share Posted March 27, 2021 Let go at overlaid odds coming off a first career defeat when fourth to Pink Kamehameha (Jpn) (Leontes {Jpn}) in the Saudi Derby in Riyadh Feb. 20, Godolphin homebred REBEL'S ROMANCE (IRE) (g, 3, Dubawi {Ire}–Minidress {GB}, by Street Cry {Ire}) gave his sire yet another big-race winner on Dubai World Cup night, streaking away to win the G2 UAE Derby by about five lengths. The victory was worth 100 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. Winner of the first three starts of his career, including a head defeat of Mouheeb (Flatter) when making his dirt debut in the UAE 2000 Guineas Trial Jan. 14, Rebel's Romance loomed up into contention on the turn, was set alight by William Buick three deep at the 400-metre marker and ran right past the previously undefeated Panadol (Flatter) to post a facile success. Dubawi was also responsible for 2015 UAE Derby hero Mubtaahij (Ire). It was a ninth UAE Derby victory for Godolphin, but a first for trainer Charlie Appleby. Lifetime Record: 5-4-0-0. O/B-Godolphin; T-Charlie Appleby.
