MATING SUGGESTIONS: “It’s a lot of money, but she was an excellent racehorse, and she’s very good-looking,” was how M.V. Magnier summed up the purchase of Tepin for $8 million at Fasig-Tipton’s 2016 November Sale. Her six Gr.1 victories at around a mile included a decisive success over the males in the Breeders’ Cup Mile in 2015, which clinched her the first of her two Eclipse Awards for Champion grass mare. Another came in the Queen Anne Stakes over the straight mile at Royal Ascot. From only four foals, two have become Gr.1 winners, her Galileo filly Grateful in France and now her Dubawi colt Delacroix. At two Delacroix broke his maiden in August, became a Gr.3 winner in the Autumn Stakes and failed by just a nose to become a Gr.1 winner in the Futurity. Two impressive Gr.1 successes followed at three in the Coral- Eclipse and Irish Champion Stakes. Both these victories highlighted Delacroix’s rare powers of acceleration. Delacroix is going to have a lot of options as a stallion. His pedigree is free of SADLER’S WELLS , GALILEO , DANZIG , DANEHILL and GREEN DESERT . Other sons of Dubawi have well over 100 northern hemisphere Group winners to their credit, with nearly 90 different broodmare sires involved. Dubawi and Night of Thunder have both sired Gr.1 winners from daughters of DANEHILL . Night of Thunder also sired the classic-winning Desert Flower from a HARD SPUN mare. Dubawi and Night of Thunder have particularly good records with daughters of DANSILI , with Night of Thunder siring 5 BTWs including the top-class Ombudsman. Mares by ZOFFANY must be candidates for Delacroix. Dubawi also has Gr.1 winners out of mares by DANEHILL DANCER and his son CHOISIR so daughters of STARSPANGLEDBANNER also appeal. Sons of Dubawi have Group winners out of mares by CHAMPS ELYSEES , CLODOVIL , DUKE OF MARMALADE , EXCEED AND EXCEL , FASTNET ROCK , GEORGE WASHINGTON and TIGER HILL . The Dubawi male line has been thriving with the GREEN DESERT branch. Dubawi’s 2,000 Guineas winners Makfi and Notable Speech respectively have dams by GREEN DESERT and INVINCIBLE SPIRIT . Night of Thunder also sired a Gr.1 winner from a daughter of CAPE CROSS , as well as Gr.2 winners from daughters of OASIS DREAM and GREEN DESERT . As Dubawi has five BTWs including two Gr.1 winners from 24 foals out of SEA THE STARS mares, so they should work well with Delacroix. Ghaiyyath has started well with the GREEN DESERT branch, siring Group winners from daughters of KHELEYF and DESERT STYLE . Dubawi, of course, has a first-rated record with broodmare daughters of GALILEO . His 24 BTWs represent 14% of this nick’s output, with Night of Thunder, Henry Longfellow and Ghaiyyath among them. Dubawi also has Gr.1 winners out of daughters of FRANKEL , NEW APPROACH and TEOFILO while sons of Dubawi have Group winners with dams by TEOFILO and NEW APPROACH . Mares by CHURCHILL , GLENEAGLES and NATHANIEL are other candidates. Dubawi’s son Zarak has also shown an affinity for MONTJEU blood. Two sons of Dubawi have Gr.2 winners out of mares by Montjeu’s son AUTHORIZED . Mares by CAMELOT could produce classic contenders. Dubawi has 19% Group winners among his foals out of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY mares and 16% BTWs with mares by Giant’s Causeway’s son SHAMARDAL . A SHAMARDAL mare produced Gr.1 winner Hotazhell to Too Darn Hot. LOPE DE VEGA mares should suit. New Bay has good winners out of daughters of ACCLAMATION and DARK ANGEL . MEHMAS mares should suit Delacroix. The GONE WEST branch of the Mr Prospector line has suited Dubawi and his sons. Dubawi sired Gr.1 winners New Bay and Zarak from daughters of ZAMINDAR and his sons have Gr.1 winners with dams by RAVEN’S PASS and ELUSIVE CITY . Night of Thunder has three LWs from only seven foals out of IFFRAAJ mares. This suggests Delacroix will suit mares by Iffraaj’s son WOOTTON BASSETT . 35
