Triple Group 1 star Hunter’s Light is son of leading international sire Dubawi (by Dubai Millennium), a prolific sire of top-level winners who is awaiting a first significant stallion son. Yes, both Makfi (four Group 1 winners) and the late Poet’s Voice (sire of Poet's Word) have got top-level winners, but their overall records are merely useful.
Of course, many of the best of Dubawi’s racing sons have yet to have any runners, so there is still every reason to hope that he will come up with at least two or three major sons who will carry on his name. Those highly-ranked sons include this Haras du Logis team member, whom Timeform rated 126. He was prolific, won or placed in blacktype events in Dubai, England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, and Turkey, and earned over £900,000 in prize money. There were 65 foals in his first crop.
He also has the potential to get some high-class progeny as he is out of Portmanteau (by Barathea), a winning half-sister to Grade 1-placed Group 2 Grand Prix de Deauville scorer Courteous (by Generous) and out of an unraced full-sister to classic star and influential stallion Darshaan (by Shirley Heights).
That also makes his grandam, Dayanata, a half-sister to Group 1-placed Group 2 Prix de Royallieu winner Dalara (by Doyoun) – who is the dam of Derby-placed Group 1 Coronation Cup and Group 1 Hong Kong Vase scorer Daliapour (by Sadler’s Wells) – and to Group 1 Prix Vermeille heroine and ‘blue hen’ mare Darara (by Top Ville). Her four Group 1 stars are Darazari (by Sadler’s Wells), Diaghilev/River Dancer (by Sadler’s Wells), ill-fated Rewilding (by Tiger Hill), and Dar Re Mi (by Singspiel). The latter, who completed a top-level treble of Pretty Polly Stakes, Yorkshire Oaks, and Dubai Sheema Classic, is now a broodmare of note, the dam of Group 1-placed pattern winner So Mi Dar (by Dubawi), Group 1 St Leger runner-up Lah Ti Dar (by Dubawi), and star juvenile Too Darn Hot (by Dubawi). There are many other talented horses to be found in this famous family, and Hunter’s Light looks likely to get his best horses within the classic range of distances, with some staying farther.
