First Stakes Win for 1.1million Dubawi Colt

Tara Madgwick - Saturday Jul 18

Purchased for 1.1million guineas at the 2024 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale by Yulong, three year-old Dubawi colt Superior Choice landed his first stakes race in the UK overnight carrying the colours of Ace Stud.

Superior Choice was purchased from Tattersalls October Book 1 in 2024 for 1.1million guineas.

Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Superior Choice started a short priced favourite in the Listed Glasgow Stakes (1m3f) at Hamilton in a field of six with Shane Foley to ride.

Fourth on debut at Newmarket last year at his only run at two, Superior Choice won his next two starts this year and was shooting for three wins in a row.

He forged clear at the finish to win by a length and three-quarters and holds entries for upcoming Group races.

Consigned by Watership Down Stud for Lordship Stud, Superior Choice is the first winner for Group I winning Gleneagles mare Loving Dream, a half-sister to Group II winner Legend of Time and stakes-winner Amandine from stakes-winner Kissable.

It is an elite staying female family that has produced Group I stars such as Workforce, Brian Boru and even Caulfield Cup winner Best Solution.

Superior Choice is the 322nd stakes-winner for champion sire Dubawi.
