Both of these lightly raced three year-olds are from mares by High Chaparral (IRE).

Pride of Dubai has some great stats with the Epsom Derby winning son of Sadler’s Wells sire that has worked so well in Australasia.

The nick has produced 11 winners from 13 starters taking in his Northern Hemisphere bred progeny and those winners include three stakes-winners – Group II winner Desert Lightning and Group III winners Splendiferous and She’s Fit, who was also second in the Group I SAJC Australasian Oaks.

The nick runs at 84% winners to runners and 23% stakes-winners to runners, so if you happen to have a High Chaparral mare in the paddock with no fixed plan for her Pride of Dubai might be your man!
