Last week it was Dubawi week at Tattersalls’ October Book 1 yearling sale, as the Maktoum family and friends bought all 10 which sold during Book 1 for an average of nearly $1.1-million, topping even the mighty Galileo at the sales. This week his son, Poet’s Voice, consolidated his own lead among 2014 first-crop yearling sires, with a record Book 2 yearling sold for 525,000gns. Poet’s Voice had leapt to the top of the first-crop table by virtue of a colt and a filly which sold last Thursday for 475,000gns and 700,000gns respectively, not to Dubawi the Maktoums, but to the new boys in town, Qatar’s Prince Joaan Al-Thani’s Al Shaqab Racing. Sheikh Hamdan’s Shadwell Stud bought this
week’s sale-topper.
