€1.3million Modern Games Filly Tops Goffs Orby Day 2 - Dubawi Sireline Strikes

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Sep 29

Sons of Dubawi are hot property as sire prospects, but one Darley based five time G1 winning son of the champion sire that has not come to Australia is Modern Games and he had the top lot on day two of the Goffs Orby Yearling Sale Book 1.

The oldest progeny of Modern Games are yearlings and he certainly made a mark at this sale when the half-sister to Group I winning 2YO filly Senorita Bonita sold for €1.3million to Anthony Stroud for Godolphin.

Stroud also purchased a Modern Games colt from Alwilda for Godolphin for €750,000 from the draft of Baroda Stud.

Modern Games was a Group I winner at two, three and four with his five G1 victories all coming at a mile in the USA, France, Canada and the UK.

Modern Games stands at Dalham Hall for Darley and his 2026 fee was £27,500.

Modern Games is a five time G1 winning son of Dubawi.
