Broadsiding’s breakthrough Group 1 win for his sire Too Darn Hot puts the spotlight on Dubawi's bloodlines in Australia. Run The Numbers breaks down the Australian influence of the Darley champion.
Dubawi’s time shuttling to Australia was restricted to just three seasons, 2006, 2008 and 2009, but his ongoing impact, both from those three trips Down Under and from his Northern Hemisphere base, continues to be felt, including in Saturday’s Champagne Stakes.
We say three trips to Australia, but it was actually four.
