Family Pride

Tara Madgwick - Friday July 28
Our story published on Thursday detailing the rise of super sire Invincible Spirit and the quest for a world record number of two year-old winners by his three-quarter brother Kodiac generated massive interest from our audience, so warrants a follow up story on a sire who promises to write the next chapter of success for this influential family.

Australian breeders might not have access to either Invincible Spirit or Kodiac this spring, but they do have the opportunity to breed to dual Group I winning juvenile Pride of Dubai, whose dam Al Anood is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to Kodiac.

Pride of DubaiBred here in Australia at Coolmore, Al Anood was sent to the 2005 Magic Millions Yearling Sale where she was bought for $500,000 by Tim Stakemire on behalf of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum.

Al Anood is from Eljazzi, the dam of blue hen Rafha, who has given us both Invincible Spirit and Kodiac. Stakes-placed on the track, Al Anood has proven her true worth at stud producing three stakes-winners so far headed by Pride of Dubai.

Like Invincible Spirit and Kodiac, Pride of Dubai was a fast sprinter so fits the mould for sire success in this family of high achievers and is by a proven sire of sires in Street Cry (IRE).

His international pedigree has already been embraced by European breeders with Pride of Dubai having just completed his first Northern Hemisphere season for Coolmore in Ireland.

For breeders exploring Invincible Spirit options for their mares this spring, Pride of Dubai is well worthy of consideration at a fee of $44,000.
