Dubawi’s Local Dynasty Takes The Silver Tankard

[Wandering Eyes]

Labelled a TDN Rising Star on his winning debut over seven furlongs at Newmarket Aug. 5, Godolphin's Local Dynasty (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Really Special {GB}, by Shamardal) was fifth in a strong edition of York's G3 Acomb S. 12 days later before returning to winning ways in a Sandown mile novice Sept. 14. Sent off the even-money favourite for Monday's Listed British Stallion Studs EBF Silver Tankard S. at Pontefract, the Charlie Appleby-trained relative of Dubawi's luminaries Yibir (GB) and Wild Illusion (GB) was sheltered behind the pace early by William Buick. Staying on down the outer to overhaul Luckin Brew (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) in the final strides, the homebred scored by a neck. “The ground is quite testing and it turned into a bit of a slog,” the winning rider said. “He really stuck his head out.”

The Listed Montrose Fillies S.-winning dam, who has a yearling filly by Sea The Stars (Ire), is a daughter of the fellow listed-winning Rumh (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) who produced the aforementioned Breeders' Cup Turf hero Yibir and G1 Prix de l'Opera and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac scorer Wild Illusion (GB) who was also second in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. The third dam is the G3 Preis der Winterkonigin winner Royal Dubai (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}), a half-sister to the GI Beverly D. S. heroine Royal Highness (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}).
